Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers lower the chance of hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections and driveways, scanning sidewalks and crosswalks before turning, and avoiding distractions all give drivers more time to spot and stop for 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 against the impact.
Does vehicle speed change the outcome for a pedestrian?
Yes. Lower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of any impact, which generally lowers the severity of injury to a pedestrian who is hit.
