Pedestrian collisions on highways are frequently fatal due to the high speeds of vehicles. When someone unexpectedly steps onto the road, drivers have barely any time to react. Poor visibility, particularly at night or in rural areas, heightens the chance of a collision. Shoulders and medians are not always built to safely handle pedestrians. Even short exposure to a highway can cause serious or fatal injuries.
