While drunken driving may be on the decline traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians(行人).
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact they are intoxicated more frequently and with higher blood alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 which by law in most states signifies intoxication(醉酒) compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally especially those involving children but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2 500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7 000 or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here we think with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem ” said Richard Bloomberg president of Dunlap and Associates Inc in Norwalk Coon.
Bloomberg whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past according to Kay Culprits who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits she said and researchers have been confused about how to prevent disasters.
