What is Washington Doing to Reduce Pedestrian Accidents?

While Seattle is the 8th safest metro area in the United States for pedestrians, there are still concerns. With rising temperatures encouraging more people to walk, and lower gas prices encouraging others to drive, fatalities still occur.

Seattle is working to implement safety measures in heavily trafficked areas, such as at Fifth Avenue and Spring Street, and 12th Ave and E Madison St (Seattle Times). Red light cameras, upgraded signals, and other measures are being taken to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities.

At other intersections, such as Denny Way and Stewart Street, measure have been taken to close off lanes and add protected turns, reducing the number of collisions.

Drivers & Fault

While pedestrians should always look out for cars while in the streets and parking lots, most people hit by cars are unable to avoid the accident, even when they are following the law and all posted safety signs and signals.

Many pedestrian accidents are the fault of drivers who are:

  • Driving recklessly and speeding
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Failing to pay attention or driving while distracted
