What Drivers and Pedestrians Should Know at Busy Intersections
Busy intersections require attention from both drivers and pedestrians. Drivers should reduce speed when approaching crosswalks, watch for people entering the roadway, and remain alert when turning through an intersection. Pedestrians should use marked crossings when available and check for approaching traffic before stepping into the road.
Visibility can also affect safety, especially during periods of heavy traffic, poor weather, or low light. Drivers may have less time to react when a pedestrian enters their path unexpectedly. Pedestrians can improve visibility by making eye contact with drivers when possible and avoiding distractions while crossing.
