Liverpool pedestrian casualties: the worst metropolitan borough

Liverpool has the worst rate of serious pedestrian casualties out of all the English metropolitan boroughs, with a rate over double the national average.

The chart shows a comparison of the metropolitan boroughs for the rate of pedestrians reported killed or seriously injured per 100,000 population. Merseyside boroughs are highlighted.





For the latest comparison (not much better), go to http://www.pedestriansafety.org.uk/stats.php?s=1-p-s-a-0-h-2-103-y-p




The second chart shows the same comparison for child pedestrians. Liverpool is again the worst.
