In the state, there are more than 3,000 hospital admissions, more than 15,000 injuries, and more than 300 deaths related to pedestrian crashes per year. Due to their exposed nature on the road, pedestrians are more likely to sustain serious or lifelong injuries, which can significantly disrupt their quality of life.
