A user equipment (UE) carried by a pedestrian (e.g., a P-UE) may receive control signaling that indicates a resource allocation for a sidelink channel for pedestrian to vehicle communications. The P-UE may transmit, within the resource allocation of the sidelink channel, a message that includes an identifier of the P-UE based on movement data of the P-UE being classified as pedestrian movement. The P-UE may monitor the sidelink channel for a collision warning message from a vehicle UE that includes the identifier of the P-UE based on transmitting the message. If the P-UE receives a collision warning message that includes its identifier, the P-UE may present an alert based on receiving the collision warning message. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising: receiving control signaling that indicates a resource allocation for a sidelink channel for pedestrian to vehicle communications;
