Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and pedestrians both need to watch for each other, especially at intersections without signals.
What injuries are most common in pedestrian accidents?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer broken bones, head injuries, and leg or hip trauma, since there is little to protect them from direct impact.
