New York Study of Pedestrian Victims Leads to Unexpected Conclusions

jayparkinsonmd:

  • The standard speed limit for NYC steets is 30mph! (who knew??)
  • Private cars are involved in far more accidents than cabs
  • Jaywalkers were involved in fewer collisions than people who obeyed walk signs (though jaywalkers were more likely to be killed)
  • Male drivers were responsible for 80% of pedestrian deaths (57% of vehicles are registered to men)
  • Driver inattention was the most common cause of accidents
  • Pedestrian deaths have been down 20% since 2001
  • 256 traffic fatalities last year, the lowest number since 1910
