Pedestrian fatalities and injuries are on the rise in the United States. For the past several decades, pedestrian accidents have been the leading cause of traffic fatalities.

According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the number of pedestrian deaths in the United States increased by 27 percent between 2007 and 2016, while the number of other traffic-related deaths decreased by 14%.

Five thousand nine hundred seventy-seven Americans lost their lives on foot in 2017. According to the most recent data, 88 people are killed every minute.

In 2017, there were 137,000 hospitalizations due to non-fatal pedestrian injuries.

According to a recent study, Californian pedestrians appear to have a higher risk of injury or death than those in other states.
