What Should Drivers Watch for Near Pedestrian Crossings?
Drivers should watch carefully for pedestrians near intersections, sidewalks, and other places where people may cross a roadway. A pedestrian can be difficult to see when traffic, parked vehicles, or other objects block the driver’s view.
Reducing speed near intersections gives drivers more time to notice someone entering the roadway. Motorists should also check both sides before turning and yield when a pedestrian has the right of way.
Pedestrians can improve their visibility by using marked crossings and following traffic signals. At night or during poor visibility, reflective clothing and lights can make it easier for drivers to see them.
