The pedestrian problem: a 12-month review of pedestrian accidents

Three hundred and sixty-one pedestrians involved in road accidents in the course of a year have been studied. Fourteen of the pedestrians died following hospital admission, and analysis of data from Strathclyde Police showed that another 16 pedestrians died at the roadside. Certain characteristics of the whole group are reviewed and a plea is made for more appropriate use of available statistics in the production of practical road safety legislation.
