What Should Drivers Know About Pedestrian Safety at Intersections?
Pedestrian crashes can happen when vehicles and people traveling on foot cross paths at intersections. Drivers should slow down near crossings, watch for pedestrians before turning, and remain alert when approaching areas where people may be walking.
Visibility can affect how quickly a driver notices a pedestrian, particularly near intersections with limited sight lines. Pedestrians can also improve their safety by using designated crossings and remaining aware of nearby vehicles while crossing the roadway.
