Page 9 <br /> <br />Pedestrian Collision Statistics <br />While numerous data points are collected regarding collision details, the pedestrian’s location, party at <br />fault and age were analyzed to determine if trends exist. <br />The chart to the right illustrates the percentage <br />of collisions that occurred in marked and <br />unmarked crosswalks, in the roadway (outside <br />of a marked or unmarked crosswalk), or at a <br />driveway. While the number of collisions at <br />marked crosswalks is greater than the other <br />location types, this does not necessarily equate <br />to reduced relative safety as there are more <br />pedestrians crossing at marked crosswalks than <br />the other location types. The volume of <br />pedestrians crossing at the different location <br />types is difficult to quantify given the number of <br />locations/intersections within the City. <br />The Party at Fault chart shows a slight increase <br />in driver at fault collisions compared to the <br />previous period with 80% of the collisions <br />having the driver at fault. There is a <br />corresponding increase in the collisions with the <br />pedestrian found at fault. This is the highest <br />percentage of drivers found at fault (and lowest <br />percentage of pedestrian at fault) since we <br />started tracking this number in 2014. <br />The Pedestrian Age chart shows the age <br />distribution. The highest category this period is <br />the under 18, with 30% of the collisions (nine of <br />the 30 collisions). There was a small decrease <br />in the over 55 age group and slight increases in <br />both 18-35 and 36-54 age groups. <br /> <br />0% <br />10% <br />20% <br />30% <br />40% <br />50% <br />60% <br />70% <br />80% <br />marked <br />crosswalk <br />unmarked <br />crosswalk <br />roadway sidewalk driveway <br />Location of Pedestrian Collisions <br />current 3-year previous 3-year <br />0% <br />5% <br />10% <br />15% <br />20% <br />25% <br />30% <br />35% <br />Under 18 18-35 36-54 55+ <br />Pedestrian Age <br />current 3-year previous 3-year <br />0% <br />20% <br />40% <br />60% <br />80% <br />100% <br />Pedestrian Driver <br />Party at Fault in Pedestrian Collisions <br />current 3-year previous 3-year <br />0% <br />5% <br />10% <br />15% <br />20% <br />25% <br />30% <br />35% <br />Under 18 18-35 36-54 55+ <br />Pedestrian Age <br />current 3-year previous 3-year <br />0% <br />10% <br />20% <br />30% <br />40% <br />50% <br />60% <br />70% <br />80% <br />90% <br />marked <br />crosswalk <br />unmarked <br />crosswalk <br />roadway driveway <br />Location of Pedestrian Collisions <br />current 3-year previous 3-year
