Why Bicycle Crosswalk Crashes Can Happen
Crosswalk areas are designed to help pedestrians and bicyclists move safely across roadways, but crashes can still occur when drivers and other road users do not have enough time to react. Visibility, traffic flow, roadway design, and driver attention can all affect safety near crossings.
Bicyclists have less protection than people inside vehicles, which can increase the chance of injury during a collision. Investigators usually review vehicle movement, roadway markings, witness accounts, and other available evidence to better understand how the crash occurred. These details can help explain the conditions that led to the accident.
