Traffic Accidents Can Lead to Serious Injuries

 
Moreover, in today’s current state of affairs, more people are walking as a new way to escape home for a while.
 
As a result, pedestrian accidents like the one on 40th Avenue have also spiked in popularity.
 
Pedestrian accidents are incidents in which someone walking or crossing a road is injured by a vehicle striking them.
 
A common cause of these incidents includes drivers speeding.
 
As an example, motorists who speed do not have enough reaction time to stop or yield for pedestrians who have the right of way. Especially now, with roadways emptier than ever across the world, drivers disobeying the speed limit is at an all-time high. Thus, pedestrian safety is at an all-time low.
 
Thus, it is good to know that this type of accident can be avoided.
 
So, here are some ways to avoid accidents:
 
– First, avoid dangerous behaviors: always walk on the sidewalk (no jaywalking), stay sober, and make eye contact with drivers.
 
– You also need to look before you step: cross streets at marked crosswalks/intersections, obey traffic signals, and watch for turning vehicles.
