Page 11 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), 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 vehicles are found at fault around 80% of the time. This year shows the highest percentage with 82% of the collisions having the driver at fault. This is the highest percentage of drivers found at fault since we started tracking this number in 2014. The Pedestrian Age chart shows the age distribution. The highest category is the under 18, with 32% of the collisions (11 of the 34 collisions). This data does not necessarily suggest that pedestrians under the age of 18 are more 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% 80% 90% marked crosswalk unmarked crosswalk roadway 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
