Zebra 2 keep crashing driver#

Motor vehicle accidents result from the interplay of the pedestrian, the vehicle driver and the environment. The first zebra crosswalk ever was established in London in 1868. Marked zebra crosswalks - facilities to help pedestrians to cross the street - have been used in Europe since before World War II. Zebra crosswalks may be with traffic control or in the middle of a block.

In Switzerland, zebra crosswalks are the only type of street crossing that exists and pedestrians are intended to use them to cross the road. It has been estimated that one third of these traffic accidents take place on a zebra crosswalk (also known as zebra crossings or pedestrian crossings). Of these, 2249 were pedestrians, and 75 of these pedestrians died. According to the Swiss Accident Prevention Agency (BFU), 24,237/1,000,000 people were involved in a traffic accident in 2011 in Switzerland. The global economic burden of road traffic crashes is estimated at 500 billion US dollar per year. The World Health Organization has reported that, for people aged 3вЂ“35 years, road traffic accidents are now the leading cause of death and disablement. Over a million people worldwide die each year in road traffic injuries and more than 10 million people sustain permanent disabilities.
