Pedestrian Roadway Fatalities (Report)

The National Center for Statistics and Analysis published a study whose objective was to examine the pedestrian fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.  In 2001, pedestrian fatalities accounted for about 12 percent of all fatalities and 85 percent of all non-occupant fatalities in motor vehicle crashes. Pedestrian fatalities in single vehicle crashes accounted for over 90 percent of the pedestrian fatalities from all fatal motor vehicle crashes. With such a high percentage of pedestrian fatalities from single vehicle crashes, this report was written to provide insight into the possible causes for these pedestrian fatalities.  The analyses point to possible interventions that will save lives across the country.  8.5" x 11", three color, 56 pages.
