The arteries are deeper and not located particularly near the veins. Gray's Anatomy has a transverse section of the wrist; if you look at it you'll see you'd have to cut fairly deeply to hit one of the arteries, and the other is buried behind a ligament.

What causes the pulse at your wrist?
Your pulse is found wherever you have arteries. Veins do not have pulses as the pressure in veins is much less than in arteries. You have arteries throughout your body as that is how your body gets new oxygen. Veins take the blood back to the heart and lungs to get more oxygen to take to the arteries. Since the veins are farther from the side of the heart that has the newly oxygenated blood the pressure in them is less. How strong the pulse is depends on how large of an artery you feel it in.
