According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 5,000 pedestrians are killed by motor vehicles each year, which is nearly 14 people every day. Unfortunately, the numbers are rising, not falling. Though total traffic fatalities in the U.S. have consistently fallen over the last decade, primarily due to advancements in safety technology, pedestrian fatalities have risen by over ten percent over the last decade.
Most of the available safety technology which protects the occupants of cars may not be of help to pedestrians, who are no match for a traveling hunk of steel operated by an inattentive, careless, distracted, or reckless driver.
