Exploring the Impacts of Street Layout on the Frequency of Pedestrian Crashes
Source: Journal of Safety Research
Investigates the impacts of street layout on the frequency of pedestrian crashes by examining the interactive pattern of built environment, crossing facilities, and road characteristics. Finds that: the presence of points of interest is related to a higher risk of pedestrian-vehicle crash; a significantly higher number of pedestrian crashes occur on segments with more bus stops and metro stations; and the longer the distance between crossing facilities and road segments, the more pedestrian crashes occur.
