Millions of pedestrians walk near busy intersection every day. As a result of the large volume of pedestrians, there are a significant number of accidents, in which cars strike pedestrians.
While drivers are often responsible for these accidents, the responsibility sometimes falls on the pedestrian. To reduce the chance of being struck by a car, pedestrians should take a number of steps.
For instance, pedestrians should only cross busy intersections where there are pedestrian crossings. Moreover, they should only try to cross these intersections when traffic signals indicate that it is safe.
