Abstract

Personal-injury accidents were studied at 3 experimental sites for 12 months before and after pedestrian control. There was a fall in the number of accidents in the first 6 months but may be an associated drop in traffic was the cause of it. The numbers of fatal and serious accidents were too small to provide any conclusion. It was showed that there had been little change in the safety to pedestrians relative to other road users and accidents involving pedestrian crossings showed no conspicuous change. See also A 1633.
