Pedestrian Safety at Major Phoenix Intersections
Intersections like 67th Ave and Indian School Rd remain among the busiest in Phoenix, handling heavy commuter and local traffic daily. These crossings pose significant risks to pedestrians, especially during evening hours when visibility decreases.
Arizona consistently ranks as one of the highest states in the country for pedestrian crashes. Contributing factors often include speeding, distracted driving, and drivers failing to yield at crosswalks. When larger vehicles are involved, the likelihood of serious injury increases dramatically.
Authorities urge drivers to slow down and remain vigilant in high-traffic areas, while pedestrians should use crosswalks and stay alert to oncoming traffic. Both actions are vital to preventing these types of dangerous incidents.
