Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most pedestrian accidents happen?
Many pedestrian crashes occur on roads without marked crosswalks, including highways, where drivers do not expect foot traffic and pedestrians have little separation from moving vehicles.
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Yes. Reduced visibility after dark makes it harder for drivers to see people in or near the roadway, and a large share of pedestrian deaths occur at night.
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 responsibility for watching for each other, especially on high-speed roads.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
Call 911 immediately, stay as still as possible until help arrives, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms appear later.
