Unfortunately, walking on a sidewalk doesn’t always protect pedestrians. Drivers often veer off the road and cause accidents leading to serious injuries. For instance, in 2017, 9% of pedestrian accident fatalities occurred at places including roadsides/shoulders, parking lanes/zones, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, medians/crossing islands, driveway accesses, shared-use paths/trails, non-traffic way areas, and other frequented sites.
