You can’t avoid all pedestrian accidents, but you can take steps to minimize your risk. Always use the crosswalk and obey all traffic signals and road signs. Whenever possible, wear bright-colored clothing to help make yourself more visible. You should also try to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of their vehicles. Making eye contact helps ensure the driver is aware of your presence.

Try to avoid walking on busy roads and don’t cross in areas where it’s prohibited. You also want to avoid walking while intoxicated. This can decrease your natural safety inhibitions. Taking the proper safety precautions is an effective way to reduce your risk of a pedestrian accident.
