Pedestrian Accident Statistics

The number of pedestrians killed or badly injured on California’s freeways is rising. Walking is becoming increasingly dangerous at a time when it is promoted as a healthy, useful, and community-building alternative to driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ranked California 11th in the United States for pedestrian deaths in 2018. From 1975 to 2019, the pedestrian fatality rate per 100,000 people declined by 46%.

According to the Active Transportation Alliance, 74% of pedestrian deaths occur at night, and 72% of those killed were not crossing at intersections.

These statistics reveal an alarming number of families who have experienced the devastating loss of a loved one due to a pedestrian accident. As a result, concerns surrounding accidents must be studied and remedies devised to make the roads safe again.
