Epidemiologic analysis of pedestrian crashes in Türkiye

Our findings show that over-speeding, poor lighting, large vehicles, as well as poor driver and pedestrian behaviours increased the risk of pedestrian fatalities. To improve pedestrian safety in Türkiye, speed limits should be enforced alongside better street lighting. Public awareness campaigns are needed to educate pedestrians and drivers about road safety, including special programmes for the elderly.

Abstract

Our findings show that over-speeding, poor lighting, large vehicles, as well as poor driver and pedestrian behaviours increased the risk of pedestrian fatalities. To improve pedestrian safety in Türkiye, speed limits should be enforced alongside better street lighting. Public awareness campaigns are needed to educate pedestrians and drivers about road safety, including special programmes for the elderly.
