Possible countermeasures are reviewed, organised into (a) prevention of high levels of intoxication in pedestrians, (b) minimising pedestrian activity in the intoxicated, and (c) minimising risk of injury among intoxicated pedestrians. It is concluded that improved safety of intoxicated pedestrians is most likely to come about by making the environment safer for all pedestrians, drunk or sober. The measure that would be expected to have the greatest effect quickest is a reduced speed limit, especially in locations where traffic is busy and there are many pedestrians. | | ISSN | 1752-928X | | Journal Title | Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 17(3) | | Page Range | 115-119 |
