When You Are a Pedestrian (1948)

The film “When You Are a Pedestrian” serves as a safety guide for pedestrians navigating increasingly congested roads. It emphasizes the vulnerability of pedestrians compared to vehicles, stating that accidents often occur due to both pedestrian and driver negligence. The film provides practical advice, such as always crossing at intersections, being aware of traffic signals, and remaining cautious even when a vehicle has stopped for them. Special attention is given to factors like weather, visibility at night, and the importance of wearing reflective clothing. The overall message is that pedestrian safety depends on mutual respect and vigilance from both pedestrians and motorists.
