Pedestrian Collisions in Chicago’s North Side
Pedestrian-involved crashes are a persistent concern in busy urban corridors like North Clark St, especially during morning hours when both foot and vehicle traffic peak. In neighborhoods like Rogers Park, the mix of residential, commercial, and public transit access points creates a dynamic but potentially hazardous environment for pedestrians.
Even with crosswalks and traffic signals in place, distractions, failure to yield, and speed can all contribute to serious incidents. Pedestrians often bear the brunt of injury in these collisions, making swift emergency response and follow-up care vital.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, Chicago logged more than 3,400 pedestrian-involved crashes in 2024. Many of these resulted in serious injuries, and North Side neighborhoods are among the more frequently affected areas.
