Pedestrian Facilities in Low and Middle Income Countries

Pedestrian safety is one of the major concerns in road safety, since walking has been part of the daily trips, but pedestrian fatalities and injuries have shared very high proportion among overall road traffic deaths and injuries. This paper aims to illustrate the contexts of pedestrian collisions, road infrastructures and challenges in low and middle income countries. The findings highlight the need for proper interventions and urgent action in improving pedestrian facilities, such as footpaths, in order to contribute to the overall 50% fatality reduction, as targeted in the 2011-2020 UN decade of action framework.
