Traffic accidents
Explanation
The **majority of pedestrian accidents** occur on **urban roads**. This is because there are more pedestrians within cities and, therefore, more opportunities for these accidents to happen. Additionally, in cities, drivers must be especially attentive to pedestrians, as there are more obstacles that can hinder their visibility, such as parked vehicles or people crossing without looking.
Although pedestrians are more likely to suffer serious injuries if they are hit on roads outside the city due to the higher speed of vehicles, pedestrian accidents are more frequent in urban areas. This is due to the higher traffic density and the constant presence of pedestrians on the streets.
Therefore, it is crucial that both pedestrians and drivers take additional precautions in cities to avoid accidents. Pedestrians should cross at pedestrian crossings and wait for the traffic light to be green, while drivers should moderate their speed and be attentive to pedestrians, especially in busy areas.
