Pedestrian crossings accident numbers

There was insufficient evidence from this study to determine whether puffin crossings were safer than pelican crossings as the number of accidents and observed pedestrian conflicts or encounters were low. 

Control data may be available to help the Safety Assessor identify the likely accident frequency. However, exposure to risk will require some idea of the number of people involved and this is unlikely to be available in many instances. For example, the number of visually impaired pedestrians or wheelchair users likely to cross a particular road is difficult to establish.
