Dangerous Places to Walk
by TChris
Walking can be dangerous, particularly for pedestrians who cross busy streets. The annual "Mean Streets" report (pdf) (executive summary here), prepared by the Surface Transportation Policy Project, cautions that "walking is the most dangerous mode of travel per mile."
The most dangerous metropolitan area for walking in 2002/2003 was Orlando, followed by Tampa, West Palm Beach, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Memphis, Atlanta, Greensboro, NC, Houston, Jacksonville, FL, and Phoenix.
