    Crosswalk Safety

    During the course of an average day at Santa Clara University there may be as many 10,000 people traveling on or near campus - in cars, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, skateboards, scooters or on foot.  This makes the main campus and surrounding area potentially hazardous if you do not pay attention.

    Driving at Night

    Nighttime driving only accounts for 25% of all driving and there is usually significantly less traffic during these hours. However, driving at night is more of a challenge than many people think. It is also more dangerous:

    • Traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day
    • 55% of all driving fatalities occur after dark
    • 62% of pedestrian fatalities occur at night

    Despite these figures, many of us are not aware of the unique hazards or special precautions associated with night driving.
