摘要: |
This guide examines the problem of pedestrian-vehicle crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities. It reviews the factors that contribute to such crashes. It then provides a series of questions to help you analyze your local pedestrian injury and fatality problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about them from evaluative research and police practice. Pedestrian injuries and fatalities are but one aspect of the larger set of problems related to travel and road safety. This guide addresses only the particular harms created by unsafe pedestrian behavior, vehicle and driver factors, problematic physical environments, and other special conditions. Related problems not directly addressed in this guide include: vehicle-vehicle traffic crashes public intoxication aggressive driving drunken driving street racing speeding in residential areas traffic congestion. Some of these related problems are covered in other guides in this series, all of which are listed at the end of this guide. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
