Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is the most dangerous city in the country for pedestrians, based on fatalities relative to population and the number of people who walk to work in U.S. cities. Some 60 pedestrians die each year in this Florida city. The highest number of average annual pedestrian fatalities, however, belongs to New York City. About 310 pedestrians die on its mean streets every year. L.A. is a close second, with an average of 299 killed. Pedestrians account for 14 percent of all motor vehicle-related deaths in the United States each year. About 6,000 pedestrians are killed each year in the United States and another 110,000 injured. So much for getting healthy.
