Pedestrian Risks
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, more individuals are staying at home, whether by preference or under a state-mandated lockdown. As people adjust to unprecedented routines, a classic concept has risen in modern popularity: walking.
Americans, as well as others around the world, have taken it upon themselves to walk outside daily. Taking walks is usually the only time of the day which people are spending outside. The increase in foot traffic on local sidewalks, intersections, and roads seems harmless enough.
However, more and more pedestrians are facing devastating consequences. Taking walks is becoming increasingly dangerous, leading to a surge of pedestrian accidents annually.
