Why do these accidents happen?
Vulnerable road users face significant risks compared to motor vehicles. Drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at intersections and streets, including unmarked crosswalks. Data from the Governors Highway Safety Association shows pedestrian deaths have risen nearly seven times faster than U.S. population growth over the last decade.
