Safe Speed Index: Ranking America’s Cities for Pedestrian Safety
With pedestrian traffic deaths up over 80% since 2009, road safety is an urgent crisis.
Speed is among the top factors contributing to unsafe streets. Data shows pedestrians are five times more likely to die from crashes when cars are traveling 40 mph vs. 20 mph. So how can we zero in on unsafe corridors and leverage speed and pedestrian data to make streets safer?
