Pedestrians should always make themselves visible to automobiles by wearing bright/light-colored clothing and reflective materials. Pedestrians should always walk on the sidewalk, but if one is not available, they should walk as close to the roadway edge as possible and face traffic. Pedestrians should carry a flashlight when walking at night for increased safety.
Troop E Troopers investigated 44 fatal crashes in 2022, resulting in 46 deaths.
