PEDESTRIANS




Just because pedestrians are there doesn't mean they are easy to see. PEDESTRIANS are a very large hazard when you are driving a car, and cars are a very large hazard when you are a pedestrian.
Here are some facts about pedestrian fatalities.....
Most pedestrian fatalities occur in urban areas....
at night......
at non-intersections....
in normal weather conditions....
More than two-thirds of pedestrians killed are males...
This information tells us that we should notice pedestrians more than we do....look for crosswalks, and jay-walkers and when you are playing the role of pedestrian, make sure you are noticing cars because THEY MAY NOT NOTICE YOU!!!!!!
