Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to avoid hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections and crosswalks, scanning both directions before turning, and staying off the phone while driving all give drivers more time to spot and react to a pedestrian.
What injuries are common in pedestrian crashes?
Pedestrians struck by a vehicle commonly suffer broken bones, head injuries, and internal injuries, since they have little protection compared to someone inside a car.
What usually causes these crashes?
Distraction, failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections, and poor visibility at night or in bad weather are frequent factors in crashes between vehicles and pedestrians.
Does a vehicle's speed affect how badly a pedestrian is hurt?
Yes. Slower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of any impact, which generally lowers the chance of a severe or fatal injury.
