Here are some pedestrian safety reminders for drivers:
- Drivers must stop for pedestrians in crosswalks and at all intersections, marked or unmarked.
- Drivers must stop before the stop line or crosswalk
- Drivers crossing a sidewalk to enter or exit a driveway, alley or parking lot must yield to pedestrians.
- A driver can turn into a crosswalk only after pedestrians are one lane past the driver’s half of the roadway.
Speed is Deadly for Pedestrians
- 8 out of 10 pedestrians hit at 40 mph are killed.
- 1 in 20 pedestrians hit at 20 mph is killed.
These are included on a pamphlet provided to drivers who are cited for breaking the law on Aurora, as part of the Aurora Traffic Safety Project. You don’t have to get pulled over to see the whole pamphlet, though, you can find it here.
