The headline says "Drivers are killing pedestrians at the highest rate in..." but there's no actual rate of pedestrian death stats in the article, there's an absolute increase, but that's not a rate -- what's the rate per pedestrian trips or pedestrian-miles? (cities are trying to become more walkable/bikable, so pedestrian trips may be increasing)
- autokad 7y agoyes it is a rate, from the article: "The number of pedestrians killed — 6,283, an increase of 3.4 percent from the previous year". It may not be the number you are looking for, but it is by definition a rate. It would be interesting to know what rate per pedestrian trips or pedestrian-miles are, but that data would be very hard to get across the entire US.
- marcosdumay 7y agoIt's not the rate of drivers that kill pedestrians, as the title claims. Even accidents/cars would satisfy the title. Those numbers you quote are just meaningless and should be ignored.
