Pedestrian Safety Along Busy State Routes
State highways like SR 99 often see heavy traffic throughout the day. When pedestrians cross near major intersections, such as 180th St SW, the mix of vehicles and foot traffic can increase the risk of collisions. Speed limits, multiple lanes, and turning vehicles can all contribute to dangerous conditions.
In areas with commercial businesses and bus stops, pedestrians may cross outside of signalized intersections. Drivers may not always expect someone to step into the roadway, especially during afternoon traffic.
To reduce the risk of pedestrian crashes, drivers are encouraged to slow down in high-traffic areas and remain alert for people crossing. Pedestrians can also improve safety by using marked crosswalks, obeying traffic signals, and making eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street.
