Oakland is a walkable city, but pedestrians face real dangers at busy intersections, near BART stations, and along corridors like International Boulevard, Broadway, and MacArthur Boulevard. The city has identified several high injury corridors where pedestrian collisions are concentrated.
Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield at crosswalks are leading causes of pedestrian accidents in Oakland. California law gives pedestrians the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, and drivers have a duty to exercise due care. Phoong Law helps Oakland pedestrians hold negligent drivers accountable.
