Ohio Drivers Ed Practice Exam

Collisions with pedestrians most often occur where?

1. In parking lots

2. On highways

3. At intersections

4. On pedestrian crossings

The correct answer is: At intersections

Pedestrians are most likely to be struck by vehicles at intersections because that is where pedestrian traffic and vehicle traffic intersect. Intersections can be dangerous for pedestrians because there are often multiple vehicle lanes and multiple directions of traffic, increasing the likelihood of a collision. Parking lots and highways may also have pedestrian collisions, but intersections are the most common location. Pedestrian crossings, while also a common location for collisions, are technically a type of intersection and are not exclusively designated for pedestrian use, making C the more specific and accurate answer.
