Frequently Asked Questions
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In Arizona, pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks once they have entered them, but drivers and walkers both share responsibility for watching traffic before crossing.
What can drivers do to help avoid hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning both sides of the road before turning, and avoiding distractions like phones are basic habits that help drivers spot people crossing, especially after dark.
What injuries are most common when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer head trauma, broken bones, and internal injuries, since they have no protection against the impact.
What usually causes pedestrian crashes?
Common factors include low visibility at night, drivers failing to yield, speeding, and distracted walking or driving, though the specific cause of any crash is determined only after investigators review the evidence.
