Pedestrian Accidents

Unfortunately, pedestrians are at a disadvantage when it comes to personal safety on the streets of Houston. Motorists frequently fail to see pedestrians on or alongside busy roads, and it only takes a second for a serious accident to occur.

Pedestrian accidents are most likely to occur when:

• Carless drivers ignore the presence of pedestrians in pedestrian-friendly areas such as parking lots or school zones;
• Pedestrians cross the street without the aid of a signal or crosswalk;
• Motorists fail to turn on their headlights at night; and
• Drivers fail to yield the right-of-way at intersections.
