Rising US traffic deaths put focus on one Philadelphia road

**HOLD FOR STORY BY CLAUDIA LAUER** Pedestrians waits to cross Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia, Monday, May 9, 2022. Roosevelt Boulevard is an almost 14-mile maze of chaotic traffic patterns that passes through some of the city's most diverse neighborhoods and Census tracts with the highest poverty rates. Driving can be dangerous with cars traversing between inner and outer lanes, but biking or walking on the boulevard can be even worse with some pedestrian crossings longer than a football field and taking four light cycles to cross.
