Pedestrian Safety Around Busy Streets
Pedestrians near traffic can face serious risks when vehicles leave their lanes or lose control. Street vendors and other roadside activity can place people closer to moving traffic, making awareness especially important.
Drivers should reduce speed when approaching areas with pedestrians and roadside activity. People walking near busy roads should use designated walkways when available and remain alert to nearby vehicles.
