How to Avoid Pedestrian Accidents
Be Visible: Wear bright and reflective clothing, especially when walking during low-light conditions or at night. Make yourself easily noticeable to drivers by using reflective accessories such as armbands or a reflective vest.
Use Designated Crosswalks: Whenever possible, use marked crosswalks to cross the road. These designated areas are designed to maximize visibility and provide a safer passage for pedestrians. Look for pedestrian signals and follow the traffic lights to ensure a controlled crossing.
Stay Alert and Avoid Distractions: Stay focused and attentive while walking near traffic. Avoid distractions such as using your phone, listening to music with headphones, or engaging in activities that take your attention away from the surroundings. Being aware of your surroundings is crucial for spotting potential hazards and reacting in time.
Make Eye Contact with Drivers: When crossing the road, try to establish eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you before stepping off the curb. This visual acknowledgment can help prevent misunderstandings and ensure that drivers are aware of your presence.
Obey Traffic Laws: Follow traffic signals and signs, even as a pedestrian. Wait for the walk signal before crossing, and only proceed when it is safe to do so. Avoid jaywalking or crossing against traffic, as it increases the risk of accidents.
