Pedestrian Injuries

County: Baltimore

Measurement Period: 2022

Filter: none (all Counties)

This indicator shows the number of pedestrian injuries on public roads per 100,000 population.

Why is this important?

On average, a pedestrian is killed in a traffic crash every two hours in the United States. Pedestrian fatalities tend to occur in urban areas where, compared to rural regions, there are higher volumes of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Children between the ages of 5 and 15 and adults 65 and older are at most risk of pedestrian injury or death. Approximately one-half of traffic crashes resulting in a pedestrian death involved an alcohol-impaired driver or pedestrian. The majority of fatalities occur at non-intersections and under dark lighting conditions.
