Little Rock was just rated as the 4th most dangerous city to try and be a pedestrian... http://autos.yahoo.com/news/15-dange...r-driving.html and http://www.todaysthv.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=168526 .

One of our biggest problems is the network of freeways, beltways, and 4 to 6-lane arterial streets that wrap arounf the city, isolating communities. In most cases it can be a mile or more between places where pedestrians can cross these things. And as if to punctuate the story, we lost another one yesterday morning.
