What Should Drivers and Pedestrians Know About Roadway Safety?
Pedestrian crashes can cause serious injuries because people have much less physical protection than occupants inside vehicles. Drivers should remain alert in areas with sidewalks, crosswalks, businesses, and other places where pedestrians may enter or cross the roadway.
Pedestrians can reduce risks by using designated crossings when available, staying visible, and watching for approaching vehicles. Drivers should slow down when approaching pedestrian areas and check carefully before turning or entering driveways.
