 | Factors influencing pedestrian foot traffic are so diverse that it takes
an expert to put them all in perspective. |
| Pedestrians are one of the most misunderstood groups that use the roadways
of our country. Most of the time they are struck because of a number of
factors. Sometimes they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol or
too distracted to traverse a section of roadway. Others are not plainly
visible to approaching drivers, or are navigating the roadway lawfully and are
struck by an inattentive driver. |
| The number of people in or near the roadway means there are many ways a
person can be involved in a pedestrian motor vehicle crash. Knowing what
to look for in this interactive tragedy can be a daunting challenge. |
| We offer answers to help you understand these problematic crashes. |
