Pedestrian-involved accidents are a critical concern in Maryland, especially in busy urban areas like Belair Rd.

High-traffic streets, like those in Baltimore neighborhoods, pose additional risks to pedestrians due to dense vehicle flow and limited crossing infrastructure.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include distracted driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, and reduced visibility. To prevent such incidents, both drivers and pedestrians must exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations.
