Lots of pedestrian accidents occur because of the inattentiveness of drivers; so, one of the best ways to avoid pedestrian accidents is to drive safely near people walking on the road. Drivers should be aware of the rules that dictate who has right-of-way (and when) when they’re on the road.
If you’re ever in doubt when you’re driving, just stop and avoid hurting a pedestrian no matter whose “turn” it is to be in the road.
Slow down in areas with pedestrians
Be patient with seniors and anyone who has a challenge walking quickly
Try to make eye contact
Take the weather into account
If the car in front of you stops, don’t assume it’s “for no reason” and try to move ahead
