Abstract:About two-thirds of pedestrian fatalities in Maine involve people crossing urban streets or rural roads. Therefore, providing safe sidewalks is not a cure-all even if that is what many pedestrians ask for. We also need to improve safety at crosswalks and other places where people cross. In Maine, pedestrian fatalities reached a ten-year high in Maine even though other types of motor-vehicle fatalities have been reduced in later years. A recent accident illustrates the problem: “In Pittston, Maine, an 83-year-old man died November 23, 2015 while crossing the road to get to his mailbox.” This is a nationwide issue but Maine has a higher percentage of elderly people than most states and the safety of elderly should therefore be a special focus of safety improvements in Maine.
