Most people are pedestrians at some point in the day. Unfortunately, pedestrians, like other vulnerable road users such as bicyclists and motorcyclists, have a higher risk of injury or death when involved in a transport-related collision than other road users, due to the lack of protection from a vehicle's outer shell. On average, more than 300 pedestrian fatalities occurred in Canada every year from 2018 to 2020.
