Beach towns like Bethany Beach are packed with visitors and cars during the summertime. From drivers searching for the perfect parking spot to people juggling their beach items, people are often preoccupied when coming to the beach, which can lead to accidents.

Dewey Beach is undergoing changes to enhance pedestrian safety through a state-run project aimed at making the town a safer place for walking. This initiative is divided into two phases, with the first phase already in progress.

Dewey Beach town commissioners are scheduled to review a number of proposed changes to its parking rules that are aimed at improving the town. These changes could make parking more expensive in the city during its most visited months.
