Comprehensive Study to Reduce Pedestrian Crashes in Florida
Source: Florida Department of Transportation
Pedestrian crashes are a major traffic safety concern in Florida. This project aims to improve pedestrian safety on Florida's state roads by identifying crash patterns and contributing factors at both the statewide and site-specific level and proposing potential countermeasures to reduce pedestrian crashes. The specific project objectives include: (1) perform a comprehensive review of existing pedestrian safety studies; (2) identify statewide pedestrian crash patterns and causes; (3) identify factors contributing to pedestrian injury severity; and (4) identify and analyze pedestrian high crash locations at both signalized and non-signalized locations for crash causes and propose the potential countermeasures for these crash causes.
