THE PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC SAFETY

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED. MOST PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES TAKE PLACE IN URBAN AREAS AND OFTEN INVOLVE PEDESTRIANS WHO HAVE BEEN DRINKING, OR WHO ARE EITHER CHILDREN OR OVER AGE 65. THE SAFETY STANDARD ON PEDESTRIANS IS A PART OF THE HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM, AND PROJECTS BEING CONDUCTED TO IMPLEMENT THIS SAFETY STANDARD ARE DISCUSSED. NEEDS FOR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS ARE SUGGESTED. /HSL/
