Pedestrian safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners <br />Attach <br />About 80% of bus commuters and bicycle users safety of pedestrians.

In 2012, the <br />Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure <br />Planning and Engineering Centre, part of the <br />Delhi Development Authority, released pedestrian <br />and street design guidelines to ensure safety for <br />pedestrians when planning road infrastructure. <br />Specific aspects of roadway design that are most likely to influence pedestrian risk are <br />discussed below. <br />2.1.1 Traffic mix <br />The risk of pedestrian injury is high when pedestrians share the road with vehicles <br />travelling at fast speeds (14-16). Increased vehicle speeds are associated with increased <br />injury severity and death for pedestrians and cyclists (17,18). Vehicle-pedestrian <br />collisions are 1.5 to 2 times more likely to occur on roadways without sidewalks (rq). <br />In low- and middle-income countries, mixed use of the road space is common in both <br />rural and urban areas.
