Pedestrian Safety Around Busy Roads
Pedestrians should use marked crossings when available and remain alert when entering or crossing roadways. Drivers should watch for people near intersections, sidewalks, and other areas where pedestrians may enter the road.
At night, reduced visibility can make pedestrians harder to see. Drivers can lower their speed and stay focused on the roadway, while pedestrians can wear visible clothing and make sure approaching vehicles have enough time to stop.
