Pedestrian related accidents involving injury are a major concern here, largely due these factors and statistics. Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater make up the second most dangerous metro area in the nation for pedestrians, particularly if they are older adults, children or minorities, according to a recent report released by the National Complete Streets Coalition.
The majority of pedestrian accidents are due to the negligence of another driver. The negligence of many drivers often includes a lack of respect for the rights motorists are to share with pedestrians on the roadway along with failing to pay attention to their surroundings. Speeding, texting while driving, distracted driving, intoxication, and fatigue are all considered negligent behavior from a driver. Pedestrians often face more serious injuries due to being more difficult for drivers to notice.
