Failure to Yield After speeding , another important factor causing KSI collisions is failing to yield . Drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing with a light at a signalized intersection or within a crosswalk elsewhere . This includes unmarked crosswalks : crossing locations at intersections without markings specifically delineating a space for crossing . Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians account for 26 percent of all pedestrian KSI crashes . Intersection engineering treatments — such as leading pedestrian intervals , which give a pedestrian a “ head start ” when entering the intersection — improve the yielding rate of drivers at signalized intersections .
