Excerpt from Streetsblog Capitol Hill by Ben Goldman
Unfortunately, today’s news didn’t sound as good outside of a car as it did inside one. After several progressively safer years, 2010 saw a 4.2 percent increase in pedestrian deaths—to 4,280, a difference of 171 human lives—and a whopping increase of about 11,000 nonfatal injuries. Bicycle deaths decreased 1.6 percent, but bike injury rates didn’t change at all. Clearly, safety gains for motorists have not extended to more vulnerable road users.
