Abstract

The number of pedestrian fatalities in traffic accidents continues to remain at approximately 40% of the total number of traffic accident fatalities in the absence of sufficient traffic safety facilities and traffic safety education. The pedestrian accidents fatalities in the national road are over 40% of the total pedestrian accident fatalities, and the pedestrian accidents fatalities by bus and truck are serious situation. Approximately 70% of pedestrian accidents are occurring due to pedestrian's arbitrary road crossing. By analysising the traffic behaviors of pedestrians and drivers, it becomes clear that the main accident causality is the pedestrian's arbitrary road crossing and that the pedestrian accidents fatalities by truck are about 40% of pedestrian accidents Multifaced measures must be devised because of the fact that the ratio of pedestrian fatalities due to traffic accidents reflects the level of the traffic cultures of one country.
