Only New York had more pedestrian deaths between 2011 and 2020 than Los Angeles did. The rising deaths come despite programs in New York and Los Angeles to reduce pedestrian deaths.
Over the past decade, only one city in the nation has outnumbered Los Angeles in pedestrian deaths.
While 1,133 pedestrians have died in crashes in Los Angeles between 2011 and 2020, New York City was even deadlier, with 1,260 pedestrians killed over the same time period, according to federal crash data analyzed by an insurance comparison company. The two coastal cities vastly outpaced the rest of the country in pedestrian traffic fatalities — despite both cities developing bold “Vision Zero” plans aimed at ending traffic deaths in recent years.“We’re not surprised [by the data].
Lipmen noted that pre-pandemic data showed that South Los Angeles had nearly half of all traffic injuries and fatalities and that people of color were disproportionately affected.
