Land Use and Road Safety: Understanding the Persistence of Vulnerable Road User Deaths and Injuries in the United States
Revisiting the relationship between traffic congestion and the economy: A longitudinal examination of U.S. metropolitan areas
Toward Safe Systems: Traffic Safety, Cognition, and the Built Environment
Conventional transportation practice attributes traffic crashes to human error, leading to the prevailing assumption that crash prevention is principally an outcome of driver education and law enforcement programs. But what if planning and urban design decisions induce human errors? In this study, we examine the literature in organizational systems safety, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics to detail how cognitive interpretations of t…
The Relationship between Community Design and Crashes Involving Older Drivers and Pedestrians
This study uses negative binomial regression models to understand how urban form may affect total and KSI (killed or seriously injured) crashes involving drivers and pedestrians aged seventy-five and older. Intersections, strip commercial establishments, big box stores, and arterial thoroughfares were associated with increases in crashes involving older motorists, while big box stores and arterials increased crashes for older pedestrians. Network…
The Built Environment and Traffic Safety: A Review of Empirical Evidence
The article reaches two conclusions counter to accepted transportation engineering theory. First, the traffic environments of dense urban areas appear to be safer than the lower-volume environments of the suburbs. The reason is that many fewer miles are driven on a per capita basis, and the driving that is done is at lower speeds that are less likely to produce fatal crashes. Second, at least in dense urban areas, less-“forgiving” design treatmen…
Safe Urban Form: Revisiting the Relationship Between Community Design and Traffic Safety
Problem: While concerns about traffic safety were central to the development of conventional community design practice, there has been little empirical examination of the relationship between community design and the incidence of traffic-related crashes, injuries, and deaths. Purpose: We examine the relationship between community design and crash incidence. Methods: We present a brief historical review of the safety considerations that helped sha…
