Pedestrian Safety Concerns Along El Paso’s North Loop Dr
North Loop Dr is a busy corridor that runs parallel to I-10, connecting various residential and commercial zones in east and southeast El Paso. While heavily trafficked, portions of the road lack sufficient pedestrian infrastructure, which may contribute to serious injury incidents like this one.
Pedestrian collisions often occur at night, when visibility is lower and driver awareness may be reduced. Factors such as inadequate lighting, limited crosswalks, and high vehicle speeds create dangerous conditions for individuals walking near or across roadways.
This tragic incident highlights the ongoing need for both infrastructure improvements and increased vigilance by drivers and pedestrians alike. Slowing down in pedestrian-heavy areas, using marked crossings, and eliminating distractions can help reduce the risk of fatal collisions.
Community members are also encouraged to report unsafe intersections or areas lacking pedestrian features to city officials, who can advocate for targeted improvements.
