What Risks Do Pedestrians Face on Roadways Without Signals?
Pedestrians can face higher risks on roads without traffic signals or marked crossings. Drivers may not expect someone to be crossing, especially in areas with steady vehicle flow.
Visibility plays a major role, particularly in areas without strong lighting or where road design limits sightlines. Even cautious drivers may have little time to react if a person enters the roadway unexpectedly.
Traffic speed and lane width can also affect safety. Wider roads or faster-moving traffic can make it harder for pedestrians to cross safely, increasing the chance of a crash.
