Frequently Asked Questions
Does a vehicle's speed affect whether a pedestrian survives being hit?
Yes. Slower speeds give drivers more time to stop or swerve, and they reduce the force of impact, which lowers the chance of fatal injury to a pedestrian.
Where do most pedestrian crashes happen?
Many occur on roadways outside marked crosswalks, especially in low-light conditions on streets without adequate lighting or pedestrian infrastructure.
Are pedestrian crashes more common at night?
Yes, a large share of fatal pedestrian crashes happen after dark, when visibility is reduced for both drivers and people on foot.
