Overview
Walking brings health, transport and environmental benefits, but roads remain unsafe for pedestrians all over the world. Pedestrians account for nearly a quarter of all road crash deaths, with the number of pedestrian victims rising at nearly twice the rate of other road crash fatalities.
The second edition of the Pedestrian Safety Manual offers new case studies, data and guidance for decision-makers and practitioners with a focus on low and middle-income countries, where nine-in-ten of all road crash deaths occur.
