Pedestrians may be at risk walking near hybrid and electric vehicles because these vehicles:
|
Are not subject to standard speed limits.
|
|
|
Are virtually silent while operating.
|
|
|
Are very difficult to drive.
|
|
|
Are generally faster than most other vehicles.
|
Explanation
Unlike traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, which produce audible engine noise, hybrids and electric vehicles can be virtually silent at low speeds. This lack of engine noise may make it difficult for pedestrians, especially those who are visually impaired or distracted, to hear the vehicle approaching an intersection or crossing.
