Question 6054
Where do pedestrians have the most accidents?
- On freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
- On urban roads.
- On roads outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: On urban roads.
More people walk and cross streets in urban areas, which is why the vast majority of crashes involving pedestrians happen there. In 2024, there were 11,808 crashes in which at least one pedestrian was injured or killed on urban roads and 771 on roads outside built-up areas. Crashes outside built-up areas are few but more serious because vehicles travel faster.
