Pedestrian Accidents in Oregon
Pedestrian-involved collisions remain a serious concern in urban areas. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, common contributing factors include driver distraction, failure to yield, and low visibility. Even at lower speeds, pedestrians are at high risk of sustaining serious injuries in a vehicle collision.
Both drivers and pedestrians can take steps to reduce risk. Motorists should remain alert near crosswalks, slow down in pedestrian-heavy areas, and watch for unexpected movements. Pedestrians should use designated crossings, remain visible, and make eye contact with drivers before entering the roadway.
