Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed change a pedestrian's chance of survival in a crash?
Yes. Lower vehicle speeds give drivers more time to stop or swerve, and they reduce the force of impact if a collision still happens, which generally improves a pedestrian's odds of surviving.
Where do most pedestrian crashes tend to happen?
Many occur on roads with multiple travel lanes and higher speed limits, especially where there are long gaps between marked crosswalks or intersections.
Are pedestrians at greater risk after dark?
Visibility drops at night, which makes it harder for drivers to see people in or near the roadway, so a large share of pedestrian crashes are reported during evening and nighttime hours.
What should a pedestrian do immediately after being hit by a vehicle?
Call 911 if possible, avoid moving unless staying in place poses a danger, and wait for emergency responders. Getting a medical evaluation afterward is important even if injuries seem minor at first.
