PEDESTRIAN PROGRAM CHALLENGES

From 1937-1961 the number of pedestrian accident fatalities decreased by 51 per cent, but from 1961-1973 the number of pedestrian accident fatalities increased by 37 per cent. The decrease was due to a number of publicity campaigns AS Main factor. The increase was due to the fact that the pedestrian becomes again the most forgotten person in traffic. The new program (the 3 by 80: three pedestrian fatalities on one hundred million vehicle mile in 1980) is outlined. /TRRL/
