Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrians more likely to be struck at night?
Reduced visibility after dark makes it harder for drivers to see people on foot, so evening and nighttime hours do tend to see more pedestrian crashes than daylight hours.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
If possible, call 911, stay at the scene, get medical care even for injuries that seem minor, and get the names of any witnesses and the responding agency's report number.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and pedestrians both carry a duty to watch for each other at intersections.
What can drivers do to avoid hitting a pedestrian?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning both sides of the road before turning, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel all give drivers more time to spot someone crossing.
