Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Jersey City
The most common cause of pedestrian accidents in Jersey City involves motor vehicles. For example:
- Speeding. Vehicles can’t stop in time to avoid a pedestrian.
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence. The driver’s reaction time is diminished, making it harder for them to avoid a pedestrian.
- Poor weather conditions. Visibility is often reduced, and slick roads can make it difficult to stop suddenly.
- Ignoring traffic and road signs.
Vehicles turning left can present a hazard to pedestrians. Even backing out of a driveway or parking spot without looking can result in a pedestrian accident.
How to Avoid Pedestrian Accidents in Jersey City
You can take some precautions to help minimize your chances of being involved in a pedestrian accident. Some tips are simple, like using sidewalks and crosswalks whenever possible. Never presume a driver sees you; always try to make eye contact. You also want to watch for vehicles backing out of driveways and parking spots. If you notice a vehicle starting to reverse, stay back and wait for the car to leave.
Always obey traffic signals. If the light is red, don’t go into the intersection. Wait for the light to turn green. You may also want to wear bright-colored clothing to make it easier for drivers to spot you.
