Pedestrian accident reduction guide : guidelines for a successful program : why the approach works : accident types - countermeasures.

The NHTSA has analysed 12000 pedestrian accidents. The analysis has revealed that there is a serious problem with pedestrian safety, even though the public at large is not aware of it for various reasons. Those accidents were not random, unrelated accidents. They fall into 31 identifiable types that result from specific failures in the Safety Sequence that series of steps taken by pedestrians and motorists many times each day as they avoid accidents.
