According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, after vehicle occupants, pedestrians represent the second largest category of motor vehicle deaths. In a recent year, motor vehicle crashes claimed the lives of 5,797 pedestrians in the United States. Approximately l00,000 more were injured. Over a 12-year period, between 14 and 17 percent of all traffic deaths annually have involved pedestrians. The federal government has even recognized that the loss of human life and suffering caused by these crashes is a serious national health problem.
Each year, the economic cost of salary loss and medical expenses also amounts to billions of dollars. Sadly, children ages 0 to nineteen suffer 43 percent of the pedestrian accidents.
