Rising pedestrian deaths & design

  • 1.  Rising pedestrian deaths & design

    Posted 09-26-2018 03:19 PM
    The following was trending on my LinkedIn feed today:

    "The National Transportation Safety Board says that pedestrian depths have risen 46% in 2016 from 2009. New York City proved an exception with 101 deaths last year - the lowest since 1910 - as a lower speed limit and some safer street designs took effect."

    What do you think is causing the increase in overall pedestrian deaths? What can we do as civil engineers/transportation experts do to save more lives?
