ANALYSIS OF
PEDESTRIAN
ACCIDENTS

A recent pedestrian study in
Washington made at every signal
controlled intersection in the con-
gested area indicates that SO per
cent of the pedestrians cross or at
tempt to cross against the red sig
nal. 240,611 of 664, 497 checked,
crossed on the red signal Three
deaths and 1872 injuries were sus-
tanned by people crossing against
the red signal during the year,
as against two deaths and 81
injuries sustained by those cross
ing with the signal, that is, those
crossing against the signal had 81
and II per cent of the accidents
and those crossing with the signal
had 35 and 12 per cent. These
figures indicate that, although sig
nails do not afford absolute protec-
ton to pedestrians at an intersec-
ton, it is 1927 times more danger
Gus to cross against the signal and
2.67 times more deadly.
These safety warnings are issued
by the First Precinct Safety Off
GERS of the Detroit Police Depart
ment.
