You don't crash into a stationary post or a pedestrian on highways. If you crash into a stationary post, you were texting. If you crash into a pedestrian, WTF was the pedestrian doing there.



There are plenty of state “highways” with businesses and residences immediately abutting. Most road fatalities are not occurring on the interstates.


The pedestrian is most often walking in a crosswalk and getting hit by drivers breaking the law (illegal turn, distracted driving, not yielding)
