\"Pedestrian<\/a><\/del>There is an uneven distribution of pedestrian deaths among the states, with three \u00a0(California, Texas and Florida) accounting for one-third of the 4,743 deaths in 2012, according to a 2013 report.<\/p>\n

In nine states there were fewer than ten pedestrian deaths in 2012.<\/p>\n

Pedestrian deaths are largely an urban phenomenon, frequently occurring at night and often involving alcohol consumption by pedestrians. People age 70 and older have the highest per capita pedestrian death rate; very few children are involved, a change from earlier years, the report stated.<\/p>\n

There are many approaches to preventing harmful encounters between pedestrians and motor vehicles.<\/p>\n

These include laws and their enforcement, education and training of pedestrians and motorists, engineering\/environmental fixes, and vehicle design changes. Vehicle design changes are a separate issue, but it should be noted that rear\u00a0cameras now becoming available in new cars may prevent back-over collisions with pedestrians.<\/p>\n
