Pedestrian Safety and Roadway Risks in Cedar City
Pedestrian-involved crashes can have serious consequences, particularly in areas with heavy foot traffic or limited visibility. Factors such as distracted driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, and pedestrian inattention can all contribute to accidents.
Drivers should always remain vigilant, especially in areas where pedestrians frequently cross roadways. Slowing down near intersections, keeping an eye out for people walking near the road, and obeying traffic signals can help prevent these incidents. Likewise, pedestrians should use designated crosswalks, avoid distractions, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
