Pedestrian Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed in traffic-related incidents. These accidents often occur in residential neighborhoods, near schools, or in crosswalks. Cities like St. George have seen increased foot traffic in growing communities, which places more pedestrians near roadways where drivers may not always be attentive.
Here are some of the most common causes of pedestrian-related accidents:
- Failure to Yield at Crosswalks: Drivers are legally required to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, but many fail to do so—either due to distraction or lack of awareness. This is a leading factor in vehicle-versus-pedestrian incidents.
- Distracted Driving: Texting, adjusting in-car settings, or talking with passengers can pull a driver’s focus off the road. Even a brief distraction can lead to a pedestrian being overlooked.
- Poor Visibility: Even in daylight, shadows, blind curves, and parked cars can make it difficult to spot someone crossing. In areas without dedicated pedestrian signals, this is an ongoing concern.
- Speeding in Residential Zones: Speed limits in residential neighborhoods are lower for a reason—but not all drivers follow them. High speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of injuries when a pedestrian is hit.
- Pedestrians Crossing Unexpectedly: While drivers have a duty to be alert, pedestrians sometimes cross outside of designated crosswalks or in areas with limited visibility. This creates confusion and increases the risk of accidents.
