What Can Increase the Risk of Pedestrian Crashes?
Pedestrians are more exposed to injury than people inside vehicles because they do not have the same physical protection. The severity of harm can depend on vehicle speed, the point of contact, roadway design, lighting, and visibility.
Crosswalks, traffic signals, sidewalks, and street lighting can help separate pedestrians from moving vehicles. Drivers can reduce risks by slowing near crossings, watching for people entering the roadway, and remaining alert at intersections.
After a pedestrian collision, information such as vehicle damage, roadway markings, traffic signals, photographs, nearby video, and witness accounts may help establish what happened. Medical records can document the type and extent of injuries identified after treatment.
