Pedestrian Safety at Busy Intersections
Pedestrian collisions often occur at busy roads or intersections where vehicles and foot traffic share the space. Even low-speed impacts can cause serious injuries due to the lack of protection for people on foot.
Safety measures such as crosswalks, traffic signals, and increased driver awareness help reduce risks. Wearing visible clothing and remaining alert when crossing streets can also improve pedestrian safety, especially on high-speed or heavily traveled roads.
