@STRAIGHTSHOOTER. WHEN YOU DRIVING PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND DON’T BE HAVING YOUR KIDS ALL THE CAR.

Instead of trying to make a bad situation worse by voicing unwanted opinions why doesn’t the people in this town just pray for everyone involved & leave it the hands of the FHP and God. Now that sounds like a smart idea doesn’t it.

First, not having looked at a map why not on this side of century have a four-lane bypass around sensory that hooks up with Highway 113. It’s good have four lanes and restrict building on both sides of it and have a 45 mile per hour or more speed limit. The city of Crestview did that many years ago.

it’s so crazy yal have so many negative things to say about this situation but wasn’t there to actually see what happened. I’m quite sure that if this was someone in your family you would want respect too . yal are so disrespectful in these comments it’s crazy . I’m trying to be as humble as possible but it’s really upsetting me when reading some of these comments . there’s literally no hope for some of you people ! and most of yal are grown and still have no sense . do better !

@ Jennifer S….. I’ve driven through century everyday since I started my job back in 2008 multiple times a day sometimes….Like I said I am sympathetic towards the death and towards the family but my comment wasn’t aimed towards this gentleman singling him out I’ve seen plenty of people and I mean PLENTY That run across at random places and yes there’s distracted drivers but there also careless people walking and putting more crosswalks in would be great and definitely help because I’ve had people run out in front of me from before the police station all the way to odoms…Again I’m not singling out the individual I’m aiming at the majority sorry for your loss

If we invested all the money we spend on private automobiles on public transportation everyone would have access to free, safe, and convenient public transportation. We could have underground rail systems and give the surface space used by roadways back to nature. I know imagining better ways for society to be organized is threatening to some people but just think about it. We could do so much better than the private automobile.

I feel like it would be great for the community, and I understand the quote-on-quote “stupidity” in the situation. But for this generation and the future generations to come, I believe that it would be best for us. Some don’t follow the rules of the road because they just don’t. So I don’t think you should put full blame on either side of the tragic accident, acknowledging that the man struck that day was my great uncle. It wasn’t like he walked right in the middle of the street and plunged in front of a car as most of you are putting it. Many people have told me that if you weren’t there, or know why this could have happened with all the facts, then we should keep a positive mindset. I honestly feel as if they should enforce the rules of the road for both drivers and pedestrians more. Following, that they are trying to make it safer for your grandkids, nieces, nephews, sisters, brothers, cousins, etc. to cross the street without this happening all over again. I am incredibly appreciative that they are doing something rather than nothing at all.

@curious, clearly you’re not from Century cause if you were you would know that Century only have one crosswalk and it’s located half way through century. So you’re telling me in order for me to avoid a ticket I have to walk to the only crosswalk in town to get to the other side. Please do some research on the town before you comment. Yes I know the gentleman that was killed, he was basically like an uncle to me and with y’all saying that it was stupid of him to cross the road without using a crosswalk which resulted in his death is very hard for me to understand. Let me help you to understand what I mean. This man crossed the same highway for 60years ( I just said that number cause he was 71) and was never hit, shouldn’t this tell you he always crossed with safety and that this wasn’t his fault, maybe the driver wasn’t paying attention and that the driver was doing something in her car in which had her distracted
