- s1artibartfast 3y agoSimilarly, 16% of pedestrian fatalities were on freeways. 59% were on non-freeway arterials, while 22% were on local streets. It seems like individual pedestrian can do quite a bit of risk mitigation by staying sober and out of traffic. These stats match my anecdotal experience where I have had numerous close calls as a driver due to pedestrians where they shouldn't be (eg people on the freeway), but no close calls while walking sober on Surface streets.
