How Can Pedestrians Reduce the Risk of Being Struck?
Pedestrians face greater risks when walking near active traffic, especially at intersections and along roads with limited visibility. Using marked crossings and following pedestrian signals can help reduce exposure to moving vehicles.
Visibility is also important. At night or during poor weather, reflective clothing and a flashlight can make a person easier for drivers to see. Pedestrians should also remain alert and avoid distractions while crossing roads.
Drivers can help protect people on foot by reducing speed near crossings and checking carefully before turning. Leaving adequate space and watching for pedestrians near parked vehicles can further reduce the chance of a collision.
