Without the protection of airbags, seat belts and bumpers, pedestrians are at high risk of severe injury or death in traffic accidents. To find the most dangerous U.S. cities for pedestrians, MoneyGeek analyzed National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) traffic fatality data collected from 2019 through 2022 across 236 cities. We found that cities in the South saw pedestrian fatalities increase sharply over this four-year period, while Northeastern cities experienced the lowest average annual fatalities per capita. Nearly half of the Florida cities analyzed and more than one-fifth of California cities ranked among the top 50 most dangerous for pedestrians.

How to Stay Safe as a Pedestrian
Cities like Memphis, Tennessee, and Lincoln, Nebraska, run into unique challenges in pedestrian safety. Nationally, pedestrian fatalities increased 19% over four years. Each city must develop its own approach to improving pedestrian safety. Several strategies can help pedestrians stay safe.
Pedestrian Safety Measures
- Use sidewalks and crosswalks whenever available. When they're not available, walk on the edge of the road facing oncoming traffic.
- Look left, right and left again before crossing streets. Watch for turning vehicles.
- Increase your visibility. Wear bright colors during the day and reflective materials at night to reduce accident risk.
- Avoid distractions like your phone or music. Staying alert lowers accident risk.
- Make eye contact with drivers before stepping into an intersection to confirm they see you.
- Never assume drivers will stop for pedestrians.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels unsafe, move to a safe, well-lit area immediately.
Your Responsibilities as a Driver
Pedestrians can take steps to protect themselves, but drivers must also take responsibility for pedestrian safety. Safe driving advice is straightforward: keep your eyes on the road, obey speed limits and don't drive under the influence.
Slower speeds save lives, especially in areas with pedestrian traffic. Lower speeds give drivers more time to avoid pedestrians. Our analysis of pedestrian accident survival rates found that every 10 mph faster a car travels doubles a pedestrian's chance of death.
Hitting a pedestrian can result in criminal charges and license suspension. Drivers at fault will likely be sued. Good car insurance coverage protects you from liability.
Financially, an at-fault accident on your record can increase insurance costs by 47%. Severe accidents or those involving driving under the influence require auto coverage that includes an SR-22, which costs even more.
Methodology
To rank the most dangerous cities for pedestrians, MoneyGeek analyzed the NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data from 2019 through 2022 for cities with a population of 100,000 or more (totaling 236 cities). We calculated the average annual pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 residents and ranked cities from highest to lowest.
MoneyGeek also analyzed:
- Average annual number of pedestrian fatalities between 2019 and 2022
- Pedestrian fatalities as a percentage of total traffic fatalities: The percentage of pedestrians killed among all persons killed in deadly crashes, calculated by dividing the average number of pedestrian fatalities by the average number of all vehicle-related fatalities
- Total pedestrian fatalities since 2019
- Four-year change in the number of pedestrian fatalities
