A recently released city report shows that Iowa City has significantly fewer pedestrian and vehicle collisions than state and national averages. The report, which was released in the Sept. 28 Iowa City City Council information packet, showed that from 2017-21, Iowa City had an average of 0.27 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 population. Statewide, this number.
A new report finds that fall is the most dangerous season for pedestrians in Iowa, and November is the most incident prone month with 11% of all fatal crashes
Iowa City Council members discussed traffic safety and reviewed a 10-year pedestrian collision analysis during a Tuesday work session, in part due to public concerns and perceptions about pedestrian safety in the wake of the death of a jogger in a marked Iowa City crosswalk in May.
Pedestrian fatalities on Iowa roadways decreased significantly last year, despite those numbers rising nationally. The reason for the drop in deaths in Iowa is difficult to pin down.
