This report covers a statewide evaluation of the pedestrian accident situation in Maryland. Nationwide, Maryland was found to have a high accident pedestrian rate on both a 100 MVM and on a 10,000 per population basis. Maryland's pedestrian accident problem falls into two basic situations. In the urban areas of high population densities the number of pedestrian accidents are relatively high, but due to overall lower speeds, the number of fatal accidents is low. In contrast, in the rural areas of the state where the population densities are low, fewer pedestrian accidents occur; but because of higher overall speeds, the number of fatal accidents is higher.
