Abstract

Analysis of National Travel Survey data on the amount of walking done by 20000 individuals has shown that people spend about 19 minutes per day travelling by foot, on average. This implies a pedestrian accident rate of about 400 accidents per hundred million miles walked, a greater rate than for car drivers but less than for motor cyclists. This paper also relates accident risk to age and sex of pedestrian, time of day, day of week, and month of year.
