Article Synopsis
- Pedestrian fatalities from motor vehicle crashes are the highest globally, with excessive speed being a major factor, sparking debate on safe speed limits in busy pedestrian areas.
- A study analyzed data from 27 out of 55 identified studies, revealing that each additional km/h in impact speed increases the likelihood of pedestrian death by 11%, with significant fatality risk emerging at speeds above 30 km/h.
- The findings advocate for speed limits of 30-40 km/h in high pedestrian zones, aligning with practices in countries that maintain low traffic fatality rates.
