I think you have the right numbers. I was just going off the top of my head based on last time I looked at it. For some reason your link isn't working, but I was using this report[1] 33% percent of pedestrians were intoxicated, which matches your number. Another 16% of the pedestrians were on freeways or interstates. There is no number, but I would guess using a smartphone when crossing streets and not using cross walks are also big risk factors. I say this not to "blame the victim" but point out that if someone is concerned about being hit by a car, there are a number of simple steps that the pedestrian can take to drastically reduce their risk. https://www.ghsa.org/sites/default/files/2020-02/GHSA-Pedest... |
