Background Pedestrian Safety Action Plan

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students Louisville’s pedestrian fatality rate per 100,000 people is greater than the national average. Inform students this map shows where crashes with pedestrians occurred from 2006-2010. Areas with more crashes are darker colors.Inform student for this time period, the national average was 2.09 per 100,000 people while the Louisville average was 2.64 per 100,000 people (assuming 2010 population data of 597,265).Ask students how old they think the pedestrians who get hit by cars are. The answers will be on the next slide. Allow students time to consider their answers.Ask students why they chose the age group they suggested.

49% of crashes involve pedestrians who are 25-54 years old

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students the majority of pedestrian crashes in Louisville occur with people 25–54 years old. Ask students if they are surprised by this fact. Inform students this age group makes up 49% of all pedestrian crashes. The graph depicts percentage of pedestrian crashes by age group. The age group circled in red is 25–54 age demographic. Ask students if they know anyone who is in this age range. Examples of celebrities in this range as of 2018 are listed below.Rihanna and Adele are 30 years old.Chris Hemsworth and Emily Blunt are 35 years old.Tiger Woods is 43 years old.Eva Mendes and Leonardo DiCaprio are 44 years old.Pharrell Williams is 45 years old.

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students this chart shows the driver factors that result in pedestrian crashes. Ask students if they know what a factor is. Inform students that a factor is “a circumstance, fact or influence that contributes to a result or outcome.” The graph in this slide shows the percentage of crashes with pedestrians caused by each driver factor. Inform students that the highest percentages of crashes were caused by these factors:InattentionFailed to Yield right of wayAlcohol

Don’t text and Drive

PresenterPresentation NotesRemind students to stay mentally alert at all times while operating a motor vehicle or while walking in front of one. Inform students cars weigh 3000 plus pounds while pedestrians weigh significantly less. Introduce the phrase, “Keep your head out of your app.”Ask students to list ways people who are driving can be safer. Some examples of correct answers for pedestrians and motorists are below.Put your phone downDon’t use ear buds while walking or drivingDon’t talk to other pedestrians while crossing the streetBe aware of motorists and pedestriansMake eye contact with drivers before you cross in front of them. When you are driving, make eye contact with pedestrians to let them know you are aware of their intention to cross the street.Ask students what they think pedestrians are doing when they get hit by cars. The answers will be on the next slide. Allow students time to consider their answers.


Pedestrian Factors

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students this chart shows the pedestrian factors that result in pedestrian crashes. Ask students if they remember what a factor is. Remind students a factor is a circumstance, fact or influence that contributes to a result or outcome. Inform student this graph shows what pedestrians were doing when a crash occurred. Inform students pedestrian crashes involve these top three pedestrian factors.Darting into roadwayWalking in roadwayCrossing with signal

Walking in roadway

Darting into Roadway Dark clothing

PresenterPresentation NotesAsk students where they should walk when a roadway does not have a sidewalk. The correct answer is that pedestrians should walk on the left side of the road, facing oncoming traffic. This allows the pedestrian to see cars coming toward them.Ask students what they think “darting into the roadway” means.Ask students why darting into the road is dangerous.Remind students of the traffic laws Kentucky Revised Statute 189.570, including the following:Pedestrians must obey traffic control signs and signals unless a police officer directs them to do otherwise.Pedestrians must yield to cars if they are crossing outside of a crosswalk.Inside the city limits, pedestrians must cross at crosswalks.If there is a sidewalk along a road, pedestrians are not allowed to walk in the road. Pedestrians must use the sidewalk.Pedestrians may not stand in the roadway to solicit rides, employment, or contributions without the presence of a specific kind of flashing light.

Fatality Factors and Statistics

Motorist Factors

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students that we will now discuss fatalities. Ask students what a fatality is. Inform student the correct answer is that a fatality is an occurrence of death by accident.Inform students that there are motorist and pedestrian factors in crashes that result in a fatality. When we look at the factors that result in fatalities, they are different from the factors for the overall crashes. Inform students the driver factors that result in pedestrian fatalities include:InattentionAlcohol involvementDrug involvementExceeded stated speed limit Ask students why they think each factor led to a crash resulting in a fatality. Examples of correct answers are below. A driver who was not paying attention might not have slowed down when approaching a pedestrian.A driver who is drinking has slower reaction time and may not have reacted to the pedestrian in time to prevent a crash. A driver who is using drugs may have delayed reaction time in responding to traffic signals or the presence of the pedestrian. A driver who is speeding may not have time to slow down or stop before a crosswalk, traffic light at an intersection, or turn. Ask students what they think pedestrians are doing when a crash that results in a fatality occurs. The answers will be on the next slide. Allow students time to consider their answers.

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students the top pedestrian factors in crashes that result in fatalities are Wearing dark clothingWalking in the roadwayDarting in the roadwayDrinking Instruct students to pay attention to cars when they are walking. Ask students what they can do to make themselves more visible when they are wearing dark clothing. Examples of correct answers are listed below. Pedestrians can turn on phone and direct the lighted face toward oncoming traffic. Pedestrians can wear reflective clothing or reflective accessories.Pedestrians can put their hoods down to increase ability to see oncoming traffic.Remind students drivers may not be paying attention to pedestrians as they cross the street, even if it is the pedestrian’s turn to cross. Remind students to stay sober while walking, since drinking impairs judgment.

PresenterPresentation NotesInform students that speed is also an important factor in pedestrian crashes that result in fatalities. Inform students when pedestrians are hit by a vehicle traveling 40 miles per hour they have a 90% chance of dying. If pedestrians are hit by a vehicle traveling only 20 miles per hour, the chance of dying reduces to 10%. Ask students if they have any questions about this graphic. The pedestrians in white represent pedestrians who survive crashes with cars at each given speed. The pedestrians in red represent pedestrian fatalities as a result of crashes with cars at each given speed. Remind students speed makes a huge difference in whether or not someone will survive a crash. Remind students to slow down when they are driving in pedestrian areas. Remind students to be cautious when crossing the street at an intersection with a high speed roadway.


PresenterPresentation NotesInform students that cars do not come to a stop instantly. Inform students the faster a vehicle is traveling, the longer it takes to stop. Review the stopping lengths at each of the given speeds. The dark blue of the bar graph shows how long it takes for your eye to communicate to your brain that you need to stop. The pink is the amount of time it takes for your brain to tell your muscles to stop the vehicle. The green is the amount of time it takes for the car to stop once the brake is applied.
