Pedestrian Safety Near Roadways
Pedestrians face greater risks when walking near moving vehicles, particularly along roads with limited visibility or heavy traffic. Staying alert and using designated crossings can help reduce the chance of a collision.
Drivers should watch carefully for people near intersections, sidewalks, and roadside areas. Reducing speed and remaining attentive can provide more time to react when a pedestrian enters or approaches the roadway.
