To avoid pedestrian accidents, it is essential to **moderate speed**, especially in urban areas. This is because, in the city, there are more pedestrians and obstacles that can hinder the driver's visibility. By reducing speed, there is more time to react to unforeseen situations, such as a pedestrian unexpectedly crossing the street.

- **Driving at a moderate speed** allows drivers to stop in time if a pedestrian suddenly appears, especially in areas where visibility is limited due to obstacles like parked vehicles or tight corners.

- In the event of a collision, the severity of the pedestrian's injuries is less when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. On roads outside the city, where vehicles tend to go faster, pedestrians are at a higher risk of suffering serious or fatal injuries.

- Additionally, drivers must be especially careful in areas where there are **many pedestrians**, such as near bus stops, schools, or party zones, and must be alert to distracted pedestrians, for example, those using their mobile phones while crossing.


In summary, moderating speed is a key measure to protect pedestrians and reduce the risk of accidents in the city.
