Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrian crashes more likely at certain times of day, like during sunrise or sunset?
Low sun angles during early morning and evening hours can blind drivers temporarily, and crashes involving glare are reported throughout the year, not just at night. Reduced visibility from any light source raises the risk for pedestrians on roads without sidewalks.
Who has the right of way when there's no marked crosswalk?
Texas law generally gives pedestrians the right of way at intersections, marked or not, but drivers and walkers both share responsibility for watching for each other, especially on roads without sidewalks where people are forced to walk along the shoulder or travel lane.
What can drivers do when sun glare makes it hard to see the road?
Slow down, use a visor or sunglasses, and increase following distance when driving toward a low sun. If glare is severe, pulling over briefly until visibility improves is safer than continuing at normal speed.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Converse, TX
Anyone walking in Converse who is struck by a vehicle should get checked by a medical provider as soon as possible, even if they feel able to walk away, since injuries like fractures or internal bruising can take hours to show symptoms. It's worth asking responding officers for a copy of the incident report number and noting the names of any witnesses at the scene. Photos of the road conditions, including the lack of sidewalk and the position of the vehicle, can help later if questions arise about how the crash happened. Following up with the police department for updates on the investigation is reasonable, particularly if no citation was issued at the scene.
