Pedestrian safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners <br />Attach <br />1.2 Magnitude of the pedestrian injury problem <br />This section describes the global magnitude of the pedestrian injury problem, <br />including the proportion of pedestrian fatalities in relation to other road users, the <br />demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of people who are killed or injured <br />as pedestrians, and the places and times that pedestrian collisions occur. <br />1.2.1 Pedestrians killed in road traffic crashes <br />Based on estimated global road traffic fatalities, about 273 ooo pedestrians were <br />killed in road traffic crashes in Zoio (r9). This represents around 21% of all road <br />traffic deaths (see Figure 1.2 and Table i.i). There is a clear geographic distribution of <br />pedestrian mortality, with the proportion of pedestrians killed in relation to other <br />road users being highest in the African Region (38%) and lowest in the South-East <br />Asia Region (r2%). <br />Distribution of road traffic deaths by type of road user, global, 2010 <br />Car occupants <br />31% <br />Othersi <br />unspecifie( <br />1%, <br />)torized <br />3 wheelers <br />Cyclists <br />5% <br />ans <br />Source: 19 <br />9 <br />C <br />B <br />
