Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Even a life-changing pandemic did not make Los Angeles’ streets significantly safer. In 2020, there were fewer accidents but more fatalities.

In 2019, 134 pedestrians were killed by vehicles in Los Angeles. That equates to one death every two and a half days.

According to data from the United States Department of Transportation Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), there were 6,516 pedestrian deaths in 2020.

Pedestrian fatalities are more common in cities. Sidewalks, refuge islands, overpasses and underpasses, and obstacles that separate automobiles from pedestrians can help to alleviate the situation. Because traffic speeds influence the risk and severity of pedestrian collisions, slowing down can reduce pedestrian fatalities.
