The age of pedestrians killed increased more (18.1%) than the national average (3.2%).
Increased pedestrian alcohol and drug involvement warrant further investigation. In addition, SUVs were involved in 39.7% of additional fatalities, overrepresenting their share of the fleet.
Results: The increase in fatal nighttime pedestrian crashes is most strongly correlated with infrastructure factors: non-intersection unmarked locations (saw 80.8% of additional fatalities) 40–45 mph roads (54.6%) five-lane roads (40.7%) urban (99.7%) and arterials (81.1%). We model changes in crash characteristic proportions between 2002–20–2017 using linear regressions and test for autocorrelation with Breusch-Godfrey tests. Within-variable and before/after examinations of crashes in terms of infrastructure, user, vehicle, and situational characteristics are performed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and two-sample t -tests. Method: We examine Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data for fatal pedestrian crashes that occurred in the dark between 20. More than 85% of those additional pedestrian fatalities occurred at night.
Introduction: Pedestrian fatalities in the United States increased 45.5% between 20.
