Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers lower the chance of hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections and crosswalks, scanning both sides of the road before proceeding, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel all give drivers more time to spot and react to pedestrians.
What injuries do pedestrians commonly suffer when struck by a vehicle?
Pedestrians hit by cars frequently suffer broken bones, head injuries, and internal injuries, since they have no protection from the impact.
Does the speed of a vehicle change a pedestrian's odds of survival?
Yes. Pedestrians struck at lower speeds are far more likely to survive and recover than those hit by vehicles traveling at higher speeds, since the force of impact increases sharply as speed rises.
What usually causes pedestrian crashes?
Common factors include drivers failing to yield at crosswalks, distracted driving, poor visibility at night, and pedestrians crossing outside marked crossing areas.
