| 项目名称： | Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices. Topic 49-08. Pedestrian Safety Relative to Traffic Speed Management |
| 摘要： | In 2015, more than 5,300 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States. The Governors Highway Safety Association estimates that traffic related pedestrian fatalities will increase by 11 percent in 2016. Transportation professionals generally agree that lowering driver speed reduces the number of vehicle/pedestrian collisions and reduces the severity of collisions. The National Transportation Safety Board has found that the relationship between speed and crash involvement is complex and is affected by a number of factors. Higher speeds increase crash risk in terms of the likelihood of being involved in a crash as well as the severity of injuries by all road users involved in crashes. However, limited information currently exists for policymakers and engineers to make informed speed decisions related to pedestrian safety. The objective of this synthesis is to document practices for improving pedestrian safety through vehicle speed management in urban environments. The synthesis will be useful to transportation agencies and policy makers in selecting and implementing strategies to improve pedestrian safety. This synthesis is not intended to be an exercise in crash data collection and analysis. The focus will be on U.S. cities that have adopted and implemented Vision Zero or similar initiatives. |
