Most crashes betwee drivers and pedestrians happen away from intersections. Data shows drivers were not generally speeding.
However results provide support for the importance of lowering speed limits, redesigning infrastructure to protect pedestrians and increased vigilance of drivers in urban dense areas where people may wish to cross away from intersections.
