> These deaths largely occur on high-speed roadways where people shouldn't be walking Most deaths happen on non-freeway arterial roads. Most deaths do not note the presence of a sidewalk. You talk about "alternative transit options" but the reality is that large parts of our cities have no sidewalks or crosswalks and it is killing people.

>Most deaths happen on non-freeway arterial roads. Pelham Parkway in the Bronx, Queens Boulevard in Queens, Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn and Hylan Boulevard on Staten Island all qualify for that designation[0], and lots of pedestrians are struck on these roads. [0] N.B. We don't have 'freeways' in NYC. We have highways. There are also 'turnpikes' which are toll roads, but there aren't any of those within city limits.
