LSA President Tim Jones talked to Stuff about pedestrian safety this weekend. There have been five pedestrians killed in motor vehicle crashes so far this year.
From the article: "Tim Jones, president of walking advocacy group Living Streets Aotearoa, said every pedestrian death was a tragedy.
He said vehicle speed was the generally the biggest factor for pedestrian injuries and death: A person was four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured if hit by a car travelling at 50kph compared to 30kph."
