Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Awareness in Glendale
Busy intersections, such as Camelback Rd and 57th Ave, are high-risk areas for pedestrian accidents, particularly in urban settings where vehicle and foot traffic intersect frequently. Many pedestrian crashes occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield at crosswalks, or pedestrians crossing outside designated areas.
Drivers should always remain alert for pedestrians, especially at crosswalks and intersections, reduce speed in pedestrian-heavy areas, and obey traffic signals. Pedestrians are encouraged to use marked crosswalks, remain visible to drivers, and avoid distractions when crossing the street.
