Screenshot of ProPublica application showing vehicle speed versus injury severity.
ProPublica has developed a very effective interactive application that shows the chance of being killed if you are a pedestrian (30-years old, average for all ages, and 70-years old). You can roll on the app’s X-axis to see the likelihood of being killed when hit by a car going at different speeds. It’s a good tool for illustrating why lower speed limits are a good idea in cities.
