What Are the Most Common Causes of Pedestrian Crashes in Ohio?
Pedestrian crashes in Ohio happen most often in the evening hours, when visibility begins to drop, and traffic remains active. Busy commercial corridors like Market St in Boardman see a steady mix of foot traffic and vehicle movement throughout the day and into the night. This combination raises the risk of a driver failing to see someone crossing or walking near the roadway.
Distracted driving is one of the leading factors in pedestrian crashes statewide, along with failure to yield at crosswalks and intersections. Ohio law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks, but crashes still occur regularly in areas with high foot traffic. Speed also affects how severe these collisions turn out to be; the faster a vehicle is moving, the less time a driver has to react to someone on or near the road.
