Frequently Asked Questions
Do pedestrian crashes happen more at night?
Low light and reduced visibility do raise risk for people on foot, but serious crashes also happen in daylight hours, as reported here, usually at intersections or near driveways where drivers aren't expecting pedestrians.
What should someone do after being hit by a vehicle?
Call 911 immediately, stay as still as possible until EMS arrives, and seek a medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms take hours to appear.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and walkers both need to watch for each other, especially near commercial driveways and busy boulevards like Del Paso Rd.
What can drivers do to avoid hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning sidewalks and crosswalks before turning, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel all help drivers spot pedestrians in time to stop.
