Question 7762

Although the total number of pedestrians struck is lower, proportionally more pedestrians die in traffic accidents on roads outside built-up areas than on urban roads. Why is this?

1. 1
   Because cyclists are counted as pedestrians for statistical purposes.
2. 2
   Because vehicles travel at higher speeds on roads outside built-up areas.
3. 3
   Because most pedestrians struck on roads outside built-up areas are hit in good weather.
