The European Commission with the active contribution of NTUA, SWOV and KFV has published at the European Road Safety Observatory, the Pedestrians Facts and Figures Report which looks at pedestrian fatalities on European roads. According to this Report, in 2023 almost one in five of all road fatalities across the EU were pedestrians. The absolute number of pedestrian fatalities fell from 5,285 to 3,690 between 2013 and 2023 (-30%), which is a greater decrease compared to the decrease for the total number of road fatalities (-16%). Furthermore, around 1 in 2 pedestrian fatalities (51%) in 2023 were seniors aged 65 or older.
