Pedestrian accidents are a common occurrence as pedestrians often share the same space with motor vehicles while crossing or traveling alongside streets and sidewalks. This puts them at a high risk of being injured or killed. According to the University of South Florida’s Center for Urban Transportation Research, 21% of car accident fatalities involve pedestrians, with 20% requiring hospitalization for serious injuries and 75% requiring emergency room visits. Most streets are designed primarily for use by cars and trucks, and in some cases, their layout can be unsafe for pedestrians. Moreover, the numerous drivers who engage in speeding, texting, or other forms of distraction only exacerbate the already hazardous environment for pedestrians.
