Abstract:

Over the past 50 years, most roadways have been designed primarily for safer automobile and truck travel, which can make them less safe for pedestrians, older adults, children, people with disabilities, or bicyclists. More than 7,000 pedestrians and bicyclists died on U.S. roads in 2018 and more than 120,000 were injured.1 People who do not drive or have access to private vehicles, such as children and older adults, are disproportionately represented. 2 Making roads safer for all users can have the added benefits of improving access to jobs and services, reducing congestion, and sparking business and neighborhood investment.3
