Why Nighttime Conditions Increase Risks for Pedestrians
Pedestrian crashes are more likely to result in serious injuries at night due to reduced visibility. Drivers may have difficulty seeing people on or near the roadway, especially in areas with limited street lighting.
Headlights provide a limited field of view, which can shorten the time drivers have to react. Dark clothing or a lack of reflective materials can make pedestrians even harder to notice.
Traffic flow and driver behavior also change at night. Some drivers may travel at higher speeds or be less alert, which can increase the likelihood of a crash involving someone crossing the road or walking near it.
