Safety Notes: Preventing Pedestrian Accidents
- Drivers should slow down on busy roads like Mavis Road or Hurontario Street
- Always check intersections and crosswalks before proceeding
- Avoid distractions like looking at your phone while driving or walking
- Pedestrians should stay visible, especially during evening and overnight, and use marked crossings
- Make eye contact with drivers before stepping onto the road
- Be extra cautious during afternoon and rush hour traffic
Pedestrian accidents are often serious. A person on foot has no protection in a collision. Even at lower speeds, injuries can be severe and life-changing. These incidents are a reminder that both drivers and pedestrians must stay alert at all times.
