Don't Walk!

Permalink | 15/02/10 | Categories: Statistics, State of the ART | by: A Sharp English (UK)

After a long stay in the United States, I always feel that, if I see another sign saying, "Don't Walk", I'll scream! Because I do walk, and I do cross roads where and when I feel like it - and not just where and when some sign tells me I can!

However, the command is justified, as shown by a recent report, "Dangerous by design". This can be found on at Transportation for America's website

It shows the most dangerous places in America for pedestrians - starting with Orlando, Tampa and Miami, tourist resorts which surely ought to know better!

The measure - the Pedestrian Danger Index - is the pedestrian fatality rate divided by the percentage of the population walking to work.

Remember - Don't Walk!
