Are we failing our rural communities? Motor vehicle injury in British Columbia, Canada, 2001-2007
2012, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Despite these substantial improvements, it remains unknown whether these changes are equally distributed across all populations and amongst all geographic regions. In the US, rural crashes have been shown to account for the majority of motor vehicle collisions and deaths.3–6 However, albeit with few exceptions,7 stratification by geographic area in Canadian injury prevention literature remains rare, and is largely void from provincial and national reporting efforts.

2005, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :This probably indicates that “black” zones often correspond to road segments close to schools, playgrounds or other activities characterizing densely built areas. This confirms former papers showing that pedestrian injury collisions often occur when and where large numbers of pedestrians travel within complex roadway systems with high traffic flows (see e.g. Baker et al., 1991; Braddock et al., 1994; LaScala et al., 2000 or Julien and Carré, 2002). Educational as well as environmental prevention efforts should hence focus on the harmonization of the road function and aspects such as traffic flow and local neighborhood as well as raising community awareness about the risks associated with them.
Demographic and environmental correlates of pedestrian injury collisions: A spatial analysis
2000, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Child pedestrian research has found several environmental factors to be associated with pedestrian injury, including traffic flow, traffic speed, the presence of curbside parking and the presence of pedestrian footpaths (Roberts et al., 1995; Stevenson et al., 1995). Other child pedestrian studies have examined geographic variations such as differences in child pedestrian death rates at the state-level (Baker et al., 1991) and identified characteristics of high frequency collision sites using a geographic information system (Braddock et al., 1994). Another recent study of adult pedestrians estimated the effects of reduced travel speeds on pedestrian fatalities (Anderson et al., 1997).
