Pedestrian safety research focuses on understanding and reducing the risks and challenges faced by pedestrians while walking or crossing streets. This area of research examines factors such as road design, signage, traffic laws, driver behavior, pedestrian behavior, and technology that can impact pedestrian safety. Researchers aim to identify strategies and interventions that can improve pedestrian safety, reduce injuries and fatalities, and create a safer environment for pedestrians in urban and rural settings. This research area often involves collaboration between transportation engineers, urban planners, public health professionals, and policymakers.
