Frequently Asked Questions
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In California, a pedestrian in a marked or unmarked crosswalk generally has the right of way, and drivers are required to stop or yield to let them cross safely. Pedestrians still need to use reasonable care before stepping into traffic.
How can drivers reduce the risk of hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning crosswalks before turning, and avoiding distractions like phones give drivers more time to spot and react to people crossing the street.
What injuries are common in pedestrian accidents?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer broken bones, head injuries, and internal injuries, since there is little protection for them from the impact compared to someone inside a car.
What usually causes pedestrian accidents?
Common factors include drivers failing to yield at crosswalks, distracted driving, poor visibility at night, and vehicles turning without checking for pedestrians already in the intersection.
