Pedestrian Accident Statistics

The number of pedestrians killed or badly injured on California’s freeways is rising. More people are walking to work, school, shopping, exercising, and simply enjoying the outdoors. Walking, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly dangerous at a time when we promote it 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. According to the California Authority, California has a mortality rate that is 25% higher than the national average. In 2018, 893 pedestrians died, and 14,000 were wounded on public roadways in California alone.

Pedestrian accidents are most common near intersections, when cars may be inattentive or fail to yield to pedestrians with the right of way. While these incidents can occur anywhere, they are particularly prevalent in cities, where people and automobiles share the road.
