How Can Drivers Help Protect Pedestrians in Urban Areas?
Pedestrians can be difficult to see when they are near parked vehicles, driveways, intersections, or other areas with heavy activity. Drivers should scan the roadway and sidewalks for people who may be preparing to cross or walking close to traffic. Reducing speed in areas with frequent pedestrian activity can provide more time to recognize and respond to a potential hazard.
Drivers should be especially careful when entering or leaving driveways and parking areas. A pedestrian may be partially hidden from view by another vehicle or roadside object, making a slow approach important. Checking both directions before moving can help reveal people who may not be immediately visible.
Pedestrians can also improve their safety by using marked crossings and walking areas when available. Staying alert to nearby vehicles and avoiding distractions can make it easier to recognize a vehicle that is approaching or turning. At night or in poor visibility, reflective clothing or other visibility aids can make pedestrians easier for drivers to notice.
