Why is addressing pedestrian safety necessary? Attachment C <br />Attachment B <br />In many countries, crashes involving pedestrians are poorly reported in <br />official road traffic injury statistics. The actual number of pedestrian fatali- <br />ties and injuries is probably higher than what the official statistics show. Global <br />data on injured pedestrians are not readily available. For this reason, this sec- <br />tion presents only data on pedestrian fatalities. It should be noted that the <br />data on pedestrian fatalities represent only a part of the problem. Pedestrian <br />collisions also result in non-fatal injuries, some slight and some serious, and <br />some requiring long-term care and rehabilitation. <br />Road users killed in various modes of transport as a proportion of <br />global road traffic deaths, 2010* <br />World Health Road users <br />Organization Car Motorized Cyclists Pedestrians Other/ <br />Region occupants 2-3 wheelers unspecified <br />African LIC 35 11 7 38 9 <br />MIC <br />51 <br />4 <br />4 <br />37 <br />4 <br />All <br />43 <br />7 <br />5 <br />38 <br />7 <br />Americas MIC <br />31 <br />16 <br />3 <br />27 <br />23 <br />HIC <br />70 <br />13 <br />2 <br />12 <br />3 <br />All 42 15 3 23 17 <br />Eastern MIC 36 14 3 28 19 <br />Mediterranean HIC 63 3 2 27 5 <br />All 37 14 3 28 18 <br />European LIC 32 0 2 26 40 <br />MIC 52 7 3 32 6 <br />HIC 49 19 7 19 6 <br />All 50 12 4 27 7 <br />South-East Asia LIC 25 19 6 34 16 <br />MIC 15 34 4 11 36 <br />All 15 33 4 12 36 <br />Western Pacific LIC 12 66 4 12 6 <br />MIC 22 38 8 24 8 <br />HIC 33 18 10 33 6 <br />All 23 36 8 25 8 <br />World LIC 31 15 6 36 12 <br />MIC 27 25 4 22 22 <br />HIC 56 16 5 18 5 <br />All 31 23 5 22 19 <br />Note: The World Bank (Atlas method) gross income per capita for 2010 was used to categorize countries into: <br />LIC (low-income countries) = US $1005 or less; MIC (middle-income countries) = US $1006 to 12 275; and <br />HIC (high-income countries) = US $12 276 or more.
