  • Title: Pedestrian fatalities, Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area and United States, 2000-2004.
    Author: Beck LF, Paulozzi LJ, Davidson SC.
    Journal: J Safety Res; 2007; 38(6):613-6. PubMed ID: 18054592.
    Abstract:
    Motor vehicle crashes killed almost 5,000 pedestrians in 2005 in the United States. Pedestrian risk may be higher in areas characterized by urban sprawl. From 2000 to 2004, pedestrian fatality rates declined in the United States, but the Atlanta metropolitan statistical area did not experience the same decline. Pedestrian fatality rates for males, Hispanics, and the 15-34 and 35-54 year age groups were higher in Atlanta than in the United States overall. Pedestrian safety interventions should be targeted to high-risk populations and localized pedestrian settings.
