How Can Drivers Help Prevent Pedestrian Strikes?
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable when sharing roads with motor vehicles. Drivers can reduce the risk of striking someone by slowing near intersections, checking for people crossing, and staying alert for pedestrians who may be difficult to see.
Visibility can become more challenging during nighttime hours or poor weather. Headlights, clear windshields, and careful scanning can help drivers identify people near travel lanes and crossings.
Pedestrians can also improve safety by using marked crossings where available and following pedestrian signals. Making sure drivers have enough time to stop before entering a roadway can further reduce the risk of a serious accident.
