Abstract
This report reviews literature relevant to the impact of the ageing process on
pedestrian safety. The review has three main objectives:
• To provide a critical review of research on older pedestrians and road safety. It is
intended that this will provide a reference source in formulating future policy
and research decisions;
• To identify those groups within the population of older pedestrians who are most
at risk;
• To identify and review initiatives, schemes and strategies that have been
developed either at the local or national level, with a view to identifying, where
possible, those that are examples of best practice.
Because relatively few studies have directly investigated older pedestrians, we have
used data from related areas, such as research on older drivers, to support the
analysis.
