  2. Cars are easy. You can get in them at any time and drive them to your destination. Cars are personalized and make you feel safe. When you don’t have the option of a car or public transportation, what do you do? You walk.

  3. Some Statistics Pedestrians are 1.5 timesmore likely to be killed when hit than a car crash. In most recent data, in 2015 around 5,376 people died while walking.

  4. If something were to hit you while you were walking your whole body would be affected. If you were in a car and hit, only certain parts of your body would be affected and not to the extent of a pedestrian.

  5. By choosing to use your cell phone you are 5.36 times more likely to get into an accident. That means you are putting everyone in the car 5.36 times more likely to get injured while in the car accident.

In fact, they are factors that represent where most pedestrians get killed Urban Areas: bust cities are bustling with people and cars. Adding them together can create some chaos, accidents, and injury. Sometimes being a busy place doesn’t mean drivers are less distracted. If you are walking in an urban environment be sure to make eye contact with drivers when using crosswalks to ensure that they see you. 1.

  7. Non-intersection locations: Not all crosswalks come with signals, but that doesn’t mean that as a pedestrian you don’t have the right of way. Pedestrians have the right to walk and cars have the obligation to yield when pedestrians are walking lawfully. 2.

  8. Nighttime: If drivers aren’t paying attention during the day, do you think they are doing it at night? Walking at night is a big risk factor.
