The sidewalk also continues from the east side of the driveway to a marked crosswalk …show more content…
This calculated speed of the pedestrian is a conservative estimate of the speed of the Nissan. Normally, a pedestrian does not obtain 100% of the vehicle’s striking speed.

    Motor Vehicle Stops

    SWITRS is a statewide repository of reported traffic collision data collected by the California Highway Patrol. It includes information about the date, time, location, and type of collision; age and gender of the driver and the victim(s); primary cause of collision; whether alcohol was involved; and the extent of injuries. SWITRS data provided useful information primarily for crashes on the campus peripheries. For information about campus crashes, we turned to the campus police units. However, we found that the number of reported crashes was extremely small. For example, the UCLA Police Department had on record only 15 crashes involving pedestrians or cyclists between 2009 and 2012” (Loukaitou-Sideris, Medury, Fink, Grembek, Shafizadeh, Wong, and Orrick…
