What Can Make Pedestrian Crashes More Dangerous?
Pedestrians have little protection when struck by a moving vehicle. Injury severity can depend on vehicle speed, the point of contact, visibility, and roadway conditions.
Intersections can add risk because vehicles may turn across paths used by pedestrians. Drivers should approach crossings carefully and check for pedestrians before turning.
Darkness can also make pedestrians harder to see, especially when street lighting is limited. Reflective clothing and visible crossing points can improve visibility for both drivers and pedestrians.
Pedestrians can reduce risk by using marked crossings when available, staying alert near moving traffic, and avoiding sudden movements into travel lanes. Drivers should remain attentive whenever people are near the roadway.
