Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most pedestrian accidents happen?
Many pedestrian crashes occur at intersections or crosswalks, usually where visibility is limited or vehicles are turning, though pedestrians can also be struck outside marked crossing areas.
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Reduced visibility after dark can make it harder for drivers to see pedestrians, and a notable share of pedestrian crashes happen at night or in low-light conditions.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
Anyone involved should call 911 immediately, stay as still as possible until help arrives, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some injuries aren't immediately obvious.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians typically have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and pedestrians both share responsibility for watching for one another, especially at intersections.
