Rt. 10 (along with rt. 46) is prob one of the worst roads to walk on. I see people walking along side or across Rt. 10 all the time and it is NOT a place for pedestrians. There are no sidewalks.. and come to think of it, I don't think there are even any crosswalks.
NJ is a very Anti-pedestrian place to be and its not like this person could have used Mass Transit either. Sad to hear. Poor guy.

Let's not be in such a hurry to blame NJ or Parsippany. Of course it is a tragedy that someone died, but why don't we wait for more facts before we make assumptions about how and why it happened.
