< Back to Previous Page Pedestrian Safety In The City Of Greensboro NC Pedestrian Safety “…between 1997 and 2001, there were over 550 reported accidents involving pedestrians within the City Limits of Greensboro.” Source: 2002 Greensboro Pedestrian Safety Study In October 2002, the City of Greensboro initiated a pedestrian safety study. Given the concern over the number and frequency of pedestrian crashes in the City of Greensboro, it was determined that an analysis of pedestrian crashes would be an important step toward improving pedestrian safety and the walkability of the community. The study documented an analysis of pedestrian safety within the City of Greensboro. The analysis was based on vehicular crashes reports involving pedestrians. In an effort to better understand the variables associated with pedestrian crashes, a database that inventories information such as location, conditions, driver, and pedestrian characteristics as well as other related elements was created. The report notes that between 1997 and 2001, more than 550 reported crashes involving pedestrians occurred within the City limits of Greensboro; 23 of these crashes resulted in a pedestrian fatality. At 2.35 pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 people, Guilford County (the third largest county by population) has the second highest fatality rate in North Carolina.
