INTRODUCTION Walking and bicycling are important but underused modes of transportation in the United States. Road design influences how much walking and bicycling takes place along streets and roads. Currently, numerous national policy initiatives, including Safe Routes to School and Complete Streets, are attempting to improve pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure and "friendliness." However,...

Pedestrianand cyclistinvolved crashes at intersections remain a major concern in China due to high ratio of fatal injuries and fatalities. This paper develops the random parameters negative binominal model to determine the relationship between potential contributory factors and crash frequency involving pedestrians and bicyclists at intersection locations and identify the significant risk facto...

Abstract Background Cycling has always been considered a sustainable and healthy mode of transport. With the increasing concerns greenhouse gases pollution, policy makers are intended to support cycling as commuter Moreover, during Covid-19 period, was further appreciated by citizens an individual opportunity mobility. Unfortunately, bicyclist safety become challenge with growing number bicycli...

Abstract Background Pedestrian and bicyclist injuries fatalities have increased since 2010 after a long downward trend. Trucks SUVs, collectively called light trucks, also in sales size, which may affect pedestrians bicyclists. Additionally, pedestrian cyclist commuters vary by state it has been speculated that an increase such fatalities. Studying vulnerable road users can bestow clues on best...

CONTEXT Bicycling is one of the leading causes of recreational injuries. Elevated blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) are found in about one third of fatally injured bicyclists aged 15 years or older. OBJECTIVE To assess the relative risk of fatal and serious bicycling injury according to BAC. DESIGN Matched case-control study. SETTING AND SUBJECTS Bicyclists aged 15 years or older who we...

Abstract The focus of the research reported herein was on assessing the long-term effectiveness of median barriers at highway-rail grade crossings (HRGCs), the impacts of barrier maintenance in resurrecting safety, and on exploring and assessing ways to improve pedestrian an...

BACKGROUND Safety concerns are a major barrier to cycling. Intersection and street design variables such as intersection angles and street width might contribute to the severity of crashes and the safety concerns. In this study we examined whether these design variables were associated with bicycle-motor vehicle crashes (BMVC) severity. METHODS Using the geographical information system and la...
