More pedestrians are killed between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. than at any other time. It is no wonder. In the hours as day transitions to night, commuters are rushing to get home; people are jogging and walking their dogs; and families are heading out to dinner or to sports practice, with a car-load of distractions.

This Road Smarts video from Consumer Reports Television shows drivers and pedestrians how to stay safe.
