Frequently Asked Questions
Does a vehicle's speed affect a pedestrian's chances of survival?
Yes. Lower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of impact, which lowers the chance of serious injury or death. Survival rates drop sharply as vehicle speed increases.
Where do most pedestrian crashes happen?
A large share occur at or near intersections, though a significant number also happen midblock, where drivers may not expect someone to cross.
Are pedestrian crashes more common after dark?
Yes, reduced visibility at night and during early morning hours makes it harder for drivers to see pedestrians in time to react.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
Call 911 immediately, stay as still as possible until help arrives, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms appear later.
