FATALITY FACTS 2005

Pedestrians

Pedestrians comprise the second largest category of motor vehicle crash deaths after vehicle occupants, accounting for 11 percent of fatalities. The rates of pedestrian deaths in motor vehicle crashes per 100,000 people also are higher for older people.

Pedestrian deaths occur primarily in urban areas. Many pedestrians are killed on crosswalks, sidewalks, median strips, and traffic islands. Physical separations such as overpasses, underpasses, and barriers can reduce the problem. Increased illumination and improved signal timing at intersections also can be effective. Because traffic speeds affect the risk and severity of pedestrian crashes, reducing speeds can reduce pedestrian deaths. Retting, R.A.; Ferguson, S.A.; and McCartt, A.T. 2003. A review of evidence-based traffic engineering measures to reduce pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes. American Journal of Public Health 93:1456-63.

Vehicle factors count, too, because the most serious injuries often result from pedestrians being thrown onto the hoods, windshields, or tops of vehicles. Serious head, pelvis, and leg injuries are common, and the severity of such injuries could be mitigated by improving vehicle designs and materials.

The following facts are based on analysis of data from the US Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

Trends

A total of 4,881 pedestrian deaths occurred in 2005, up 4 percent from 2004. Since 1975 pedestrian deaths have declined from 17 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths to 11 percent in 2005.

Age and gender

The rate of pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people decreased 53 percent between 1975 and 2005 (from 3.5 to 1.6 per 100,000). The pedestrian death rate for children ages 0-12 decreased 85 percent. Children this age had the third highest pedestrian death rate in 1975 but in 2005 had the lowest.

The rate of pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people in 2005 was approximately twice as high for people 70 and older than for those younger than 70. Since 1975 the rate of pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people has decreased 50 percent for people younger than 70 and 69 percent for those age 70 and older.
