Since 2008, approximately 150 pedestrians have been killed annually in traffic related crashes on New Jersey roadways.
Vehicle-pedestrian collisions have a five percent fatality rate if the car is going 20 mph, but the rate jumps to 85 percent at 40 mph.
There is a crosswalk at every intersection; even it is not painted as such. This is known as an “unmarked crosswalk.”
A motorist must stop and stay stopped for a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk.

In most cases, pedestrians have the right of way at all intersections.
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety.
Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk.

Motorists should watch for signs that mark special hazard areas, such as school zones, bus stops, playgrounds, parks and schools, where children are most likely to play or cross the streets.

The same laws governing other motor vehicles also govern motorcycles
Allow plenty of room for the motorcycle to complete the pass and resume proper lane position

When passing a large truck or bus, it is important to remember that there are several no zones (blind spots) in which the motorist cannot see other vehicles.
During bad weather, a truck can take as much as 25% longer to stop
Avoid the area around trucks where vehicles disappear into blind spots

Look for information to plan the best path of travel
Look ahead, behind, beside you Keep your eyes moving
![Page 14: Since 2008, approximately 150 pedestrians have been killed annually in traffic related crashes on New Jersey roadways. Vehicle-pedestrian collisions](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f585503460f94c7d6f6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Are there vehicles or pedestrians that could be a problem?
Are there objects or conditions that could threaten the intended path of travel?
![Page 15: Since 2008, approximately 150 pedestrians have been killed annually in traffic related crashes on New Jersey roadways. Vehicle-pedestrian collisions](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f585503460f94c7d6f6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Where might a crash happen? What might the vehicle or pedestrian
do?
![Page 16: Since 2008, approximately 150 pedestrians have been killed annually in traffic related crashes on New Jersey roadways. Vehicle-pedestrian collisions](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f585503460f94c7d6f6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Slow down or speed up? Change direction or lane position? Communicate with turn signals, horn
and eye contact?

Steer Accelerate Brake Communicate

A process that saves drivers from getting into accidents and prevents damage
A safe driving system
![Page 19: Since 2008, approximately 150 pedestrians have been killed annually in traffic related crashes on New Jersey roadways. Vehicle-pedestrian collisions](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f585503460f94c7d6f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Aim high & ahead› Look far down the road, no just right in
front of the car Keep your eyes moving
› Don’t be focused so much on the dog walking beside the road that you fail to see the dog in the middle of it
![Page 20: Since 2008, approximately 150 pedestrians have been killed annually in traffic related crashes on New Jersey roadways. Vehicle-pedestrian collisions](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f585503460f94c7d6f6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Get the big picture› Watch all around the car, not just the front
Make sure others see you › Use proper communication to let other
drivers know your intentions Always leave yourself an out
› Don’t put yourself in a situation that there is no room to steer out of a danger if needed
