TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Near accidents and collisions between pedestrians and cyclists JO - European transport research review A1 - Mesimäki, Johannes A1 - Luoma, Juha SP - e38 EP - e38 VL - 13 IS - 1 N2 - Cities throughout the world have increasingly promoted walking and cycling as healthy and sustainable modes of travel. However, collisions between pedestrians and cyclists have remained largely unstudied, and existing accident statistics suffer from underreporting. This study aimed to explore near accidents and collisions between pedestrians and cyclists, assess the frequency of near accidents, and evaluate pedestrians' and cyclists' sense of safety in traffic. An online survey was directed to inhabitants of Finnish cities with populations greater than 100,000, and the resulting data included 1046 respondents who walk and/or cycle regularly.
