Pedestrian Safety – Be Visible – Be Seen

Pedestrian Safety – Be Visible  – Be Seen

Key messages

• Pedestrian safety is a concern at night and in wet weather. In fact 43 per cent of all crashes that injure pedestrians happen between October and January as visibility and conditions get worse.
• You see pedestrians when you really look for them.
• When you’re driving, take a break from your phone, be extra alert at intersections and be ready to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.
• When you’re walking, take extra care to help drivers see you: stay focused on the road and make eye contact.
