Why won’t drivers yield the right of way?

Auto accidents could result in terrible injuries and even fatalities. Vehicle-pedestrian accidents might present the worst outcomes. The human body, unlike a car, cannot absorb a vehicle’s impact. So, why do some drivers in New York seemingly disregard pedestrian safety? Unfortunately, bad habits and poor judgment might contribute to dangerous driving.
Not giving pedestrians the right of way
“Right of way” refers to achieving precedence when proceeding. In other words, when a pedestrian has the right of way, he or she may go first. A recent study shows that less than 30% of drivers give pedestrians the right of way at a crosswalk….

Pedestrian safety is becoming a priority in NYC

The New York City metropolitan area is an assembly of vibrant communities even when restrictive movement orders are in place, and city management is taking further steps to improve the safety of those who walk, bike, and use the metropolitan transportation system. As every thing gradually gets back to normal, now is an excellent time to revitalize designated walkways and bike lanes for those who want to avoid motorized individual methods of transportation.

Is New York facing a pedestrian accident crisis?

Living in a central metropolitan area comes with several concerns. Among the worries that pedestrians face is the potential for a catastrophic accident. With many cars and motorbikes traveling near people walking or jogging, the chances of an accident could be alarmingly high. Statistics coming from New York support concerns, as the figures reflecting pedestrian deaths are outright frightening.
An increase in pedestrian deaths occurs
Accident statistics from 2021 show that New York City is not the safest place for people going about their business. The city established a “Zero Vision” policy to increase pedestrian safety, but the program has not overcome…

Consider safety when building a walking route

When pedestrians are involved in car accidents, their damages are significantly more severe than vehicle drivers or passengers. Every walking route in New York must be designed with optimal safety in mind.
Proximity to busy roads and highways
The first factor to consider for a walkway is its proximity to busy roads and highways where hundreds of cars pass every day. It’s rarely a good idea to have a sidewalk only inches away from a busy highway that extends for miles until it connects to another busy highway. In some cases, this type of sidewalk is unavoidable, and it’s better than having…
