Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most pedestrian accidents happen?
Many pedestrian crashes occur near roadways, driveways, and residential streets, usually in areas where foot traffic and vehicle traffic cross without a signal or marked crosswalk.
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Reduced visibility does raise the risk of pedestrian crashes after dark, but they also happen in daylight, particularly on residential streets where drivers may not expect someone on foot.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
If possible, call 911 immediately, stay as still as you can until help arrives, and seek a medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms take time to appear.
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 share responsibility for watching out for one another at intersections.
