Page 13 Pedestrian Collision Statistics Numerous data points are collected regarding collision details for pedestrians. The pedestrian’s location, party at fault and age are shown to provide better understanding of where and who are involved in collisions. The chart to the right illustrates the percentage of collisions that occurred in marked and unmarked crosswalks, in the roadway (outside of a marked or unmarked crosswalk), on a sidewalk, or at a driveway. While the number of collisions at marked crosswalks is greater than the other location types, this does not necessarily equate to reduced relative safety as there are more pedestrians crossing at marked crosswalks than the other location types. The volume of pedestrians crossing at the different location types is difficult to quantify given the number of locations/intersections within the City. The Party at Fault chart shows 86% of the pedestrian collisions found the driver at fault. This is the highest percentage of drivers found at fault since we started tracking this number in 2014. The historical average is approximately 70%. The Pedestrian Age chart shows the age distribution with a nearly equal distribution among the different age categories. The category with the least collisions is “36 – 54”, with 18% of the collisions (5 of the 28 collisions). This data does not necessarily suggest that pedestrians between the ages of 36 to 54 are less likely to be involved in a collision, as we don’t collect the total number of pedestrians walking by age. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% marked crosswalk unmarked crosswalk roadway sidewalk driveway Location of Pedestrian Collisions previous 3-year current 3-year 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Pedestrian Driver Party at Fault in Pedestrian Collisions previous 3-year current 3-year 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% Under 18 18-35 36-54 55+ Pedestrian Age previous 3-year current 3-year
