Safety Notes: Preventing Pedestrian Accidents
- Drivers should slow down in busy urban areas like Queen Street, Yonge Street and Eglinton
- Always check crosswalks and intersections before proceeding
- Avoid distractions such as phones while driving or walking
- Pedestrians should make eye contact with drivers before crossing
- Use marked crosswalks whenever possible
- Be extra cautious during early morning and rush hour traffic
Pedestrian accidents are often serious. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no protection in a collision. Even at moderate speeds, injuries can be severe or life-threatening. These incidents are a reminder that both drivers and pedestrians must stay alert at all times.
