First

accidents is increasing speed limits. Indeed, there is robust evidence that a slight increase in speed results in a higher likelihood of killing a pedestrian or

However

, governments could easily impose some rules regarding these two issues. Given the clear evidence in favour of decreasing speed limits, governments could contribute to

problem by simply setting more strict policies that decline the average speed of

in the area.

Also

, immense investments are needed in order to adjust

and infrastructure in general.

Thus

, reorganising some dangerous areas, where probably many accidents have already happened, a pedestrian death count could decline significantly. In conclusion, even though the increasing quality of

can not completely prevent collisions since they are mostly associated with unbelievably high

therefore
