Abstract:

Provides context on pedestrian safety issues, crash patterns and contributing factors, and resulting impacts that may help orient readers from diverse sectors—including advocates, roadway owners and operators, legislators and law makers, real estate developers, businesses and private industries, public health practitioners, researchers, educators, enforcement officers, and others—to identify shared concerns and opportunities to make a difference. It also includes a focus on background and context on what makes pedestrians unsafe and what safety risks, patterns, and gaps in knowledge have been identified to date, to support a more shared understanding of the nature of the problem needing to be addressed.
