Land use, roadway, and socioeconomic correlates of non-motorized road user safety: Differentiating pedestrian and bicyclist risks

Key Points

• Non-motorized safety outcomes vary significantly between pedestrians and bicyclists, highlighting distinct risk factors.
• Findings indicate that increased land use diversity correlates with improved pedestrian safety but presents challenges for bicyclists.
• Assessment using roadway design indicators reveals critical environmental factors that influence safety outcomes for non-motorized users.
• Implication of these findings suggests the need for targeted urban planning to enhance safety for both pedestrian and bicyclist populations.
