Pedestrians, or people traveling by foot, are far too often involved in traffic accidents that result in injury and even death.
Almost 2,000 pedestrians were injured in collisions involving motor vehicles in 2015 in Virginia, which accounts for roughly 2.5 percent of all traffic-related injuries that year. Approximately 78 pedestrians were killed in collisions involving motor vehicles, which accounts for 10.4 percent of Virginia’s traffic-related fatalities.
Virginia has traffic laws about pedestrians, and cities and counties may also add local rules.
GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys would rather work to prevent pedestrian accidents today than defend an injured neighbor tomorrow. That’s why we share safety information with our community. And, we always stand ready to help when you or someone you love has been hurt in an accident, so don’t hesitate to call us with any questions.
Vehicle drivers are supposed to stop or yield to pedestrians in the following circumstances:
Certain signals are intended to remind drivers that they must yield to pedestrians:
In general, pedestrians need to act safely around traffic and not stop or step in front of passing vehicles. Pedestrians are not supposed to walk on the road when a sidewalk is present.
If there is no sidewalk, pedestrians should stay to the far left side of the road, or walk on the shoulder.
When possible, walkers should cross at crosswalks or intersections. When a mixed-use pathway, such as one designed for walking and bicycling, crosses a roadway, pedestrians should stop and obey all traffic control signals and posted signs.
