Frequently Asked Questions
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk generally have the right of way, but drivers and walkers both need to watch for each other, especially near highway ramps and interchanges where visibility and speeds can vary.
How can drivers reduce the chances of hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near ramps, interchanges and areas with limited lighting, scanning the roadside before merging, and staying off phones while driving all help drivers spot pedestrians sooner.
What injuries are common in pedestrian crashes?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer head trauma, broken bones and internal injuries, since they have no protection from the impact.
What usually causes pedestrian accidents?
Common factors include driver distraction, low visibility, speeding, and pedestrians crossing outside of marked crossing areas, though the cause of any specific crash depends on its own facts.
