Safety Notes:
- Drivers should always slow down and stay alert at busy intersections
- Always check for pedestrians before turning or proceeding through a light
- Avoid distractions like phones, eating or being distracted by pets while driving
- Pedestrians should use crosswalks and wait until it is safe to cross, and adhere to walk signals at intersections
- Make yourself visible, especially at night or in poor weather
- If a collision happens, stay at the scene and call emergency services
Pedestrian accidents happen quickly and often without warning, especially in areas like Etobicoke, where traffic is heavy. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no protection, which means even a low-speed impact can cause serious injuries.
