Since the New York Times has published and examined New York’s Pedestrian Safety Study and Action Plan and highlighted collisions and gender, it seems like a good time to look at DC’s reports on the same. Since NYC and DC combined metrics in different ways, however, the same type of data isn’t presented – for instance, it can not be determined from DC’s report what kind of driver in what action results in the most pedestrian-involved accidents.
