Pedestrian accidents are a frequent occurrence in both urban and suburban areas, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.

Even minor pedestrian-involved crashes can lead to injuries requiring medical attention. Victims may suffer from bruises, fractures, or other impact-related injuries, which could result in medical expenses, lost wages, and a prolonged recovery period.
To reduce pedestrian accidents, drivers should always remain alert, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and reduce speed in residential or high-foot-traffic areas. Pedestrians can also improve safety by wearing visible clothing, using crosswalks, and being cautious when walking near roadways.
