Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to help avoid hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections and crosswalks, scanning both sides of the road before proceeding, and avoiding distractions like phones give drivers more time to spot and react to pedestrians.
What injuries are common in pedestrian crashes?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer broken bones, head injuries, and internal injuries, since they have no protection from the impact.
Does vehicle speed affect how badly a pedestrian is hurt?
Yes. Lower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of any impact, which generally lowers the chance of severe or fatal injury to a pedestrian.
