Pedestrian Accident Statistics

California is one of the most dangerous states in the United States for pedestrians. Between 2009 and 2017, pedestrian deaths in California increased by 38.4%. In 2008, 35 pedestrians were killed by San Francisco drivers.

One of the most important factors contributing to pedestrian accidents is visibility. Drivers often have difficulty seeing pedestrians, especially at night or in bad weather. To make matters worse, many pedestrians fail to take basic safety precautions, such as wearing reflective clothing or walking facing traffic.

As a result, drivers and pedestrians need to be more vigilant to reduce the number of accidents. By taking simple steps to improve visibility and using caution while walking, we can help make our roads safer for everyone.
