Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most pedestrian crashes happen?
A large share occur outside marked crosswalks and intersections, usually where pedestrians cross midblock or in areas with limited lighting.
Are pedestrian crashes more likely at night?
Yes. Reduced visibility makes it harder for drivers to see people walking, especially when pedestrians wear dark clothing, which is a factor investigators look at in many overnight crashes.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks at intersections, though drivers and walkers both share responsibility for watching for each other, particularly where lighting is poor.
What should a pedestrian do immediately after being hit by a vehicle?
Call 911 or ask a bystander to call, avoid moving unless there's a safety hazard, and wait for medical personnel to evaluate any injuries, even if they seem minor at first.
