Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Reduced visibility after dark does make it harder for drivers to see people on foot, and a meaningful share of pedestrian crashes happen at night or in low-light conditions.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
If you're struck by a vehicle, you should seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor, since some injuries, like head trauma, are not immediately obvious.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk generally have the right of way, though both drivers and pedestrians are expected to use caution before crossing or proceeding.
How can drivers reduce the risk of hitting a pedestrian?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning for people at curbs and crosswalks, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel all help drivers spot pedestrians sooner.
