What Should Drivers Know About Pedestrian Safety?
Pedestrians face greater risks than people inside vehicles because they have little physical protection during a roadway collision. Drivers should slow down in areas with foot traffic and stay alert near intersections, crosswalks, sidewalks, and businesses. Yielding to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks can help prevent serious injuries. Good visibility is also important, especially at night or during poor weather.
Pedestrians can improve safety by using designated crossings, staying alert to nearby traffic, and, when possible, making eye contact with drivers before crossing. Reflective clothing or lights can make pedestrians easier to see after dark. Both drivers and pedestrians should avoid distractions and allow enough time to react to changing roadway conditions.
