#Pedestrian fatalities have risen 83% from a low in 2009. Bigger, heavier #SUV s & distraction play a part.
The largest factor is night-time speed on urban arterial routes, common in older, socially #deprived, multifamily housing & "arts/entertainment/food/accommodations" #neighborhoods, disproportionately affecting less #affluent people.
#Cars are prioritized over #walkers & #cyclists, with a lack of sidewalks & crossings on wide roads with retail locations.
