Frequently Asked Questions
Do pedestrian crashes happen more at night?
Reduced visibility after dark is a common factor in pedestrian crashes, though they can occur at any hour, including in daylight as reported here.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
Call 911 if possible, stay as still as possible to avoid further injury, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms appear later.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and walkers both need to watch for each other at intersections.
What can drivers do to avoid hitting pedestrians?
Slowing down near intersections and shopping centers, scanning crosswalks before turning, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel all help drivers spot pedestrians in time to stop.
