Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes pedestrian accidents?
Pedestrian crashes commonly happen when a driver fails to yield at a crosswalk or intersection, when visibility is poor, or when a pedestrian crosses outside a marked crossing. Distraction on the part of either the driver or the pedestrian is also a frequent factor.
Does vehicle speed change how badly a pedestrian is hurt?
Yes. Even modest speed increases raise the force of impact and the likelihood of serious injury or death for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
Where do most pedestrian accidents happen?
Many occur at or near intersections, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic such as college campuses, downtown corridors, and commercial strips.
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Reduced visibility after dark raises the risk for pedestrians, and a larger share of serious and fatal pedestrian crashes happen at night compared with daytime hours.
