Understanding the most prevalent causes of pedestrian accidents will help you identify potential hazards and stay safe on the streets. Some of the major causes of pedestrian accidents in the Bronx are:
Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, using their phones, or otherwise distracted are more likely to miss pedestrians at crosswalks or on sidewalks.
Speeding: Speeding diminishes a driver’s reaction time and worsens accidents, making them more risky for pedestrians.
Failure to Yield: Many accidents happen when automobiles fail to give pedestrians the right of way, especially at crossings or in crosswalks.
Impaired Driving: Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol greatly reduces a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely, increasing the likelihood of an accident.
Poor road conditions: Potholes, inadequate signs, and insufficient lighting are all potential causes of pedestrian accidents.
