What Factors Commonly Contribute to Pedestrian Crashes at Night?
Pedestrian crashes that occur at night are often linked to reduced visibility for both drivers and pedestrians.
Low lighting conditions can make it harder for drivers to see pedestrians, especially in areas without adequate street lighting. Additionally, pedestrians wearing dark clothing may be less visible to oncoming traffic.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down and remain alert in low-light conditions, while pedestrians should use crosswalks and wear reflective clothing when possible to improve visibility and safety.
