With the increasing number of pedestrian fatalities, the Hawaii Department of Transportation<\/a> announced that they are launching a pedestrian safety campaign for their residents.<\/p>\n

In fact, the state of Hawaii has seen an alarming spike in the number of pedestrian accidents since the start of the year.<\/p>\n

In the same manner, transportation officials mentioned that they will start disclosing traffic fatality statistics and safety messages over electronic traffic signs in the city and online.<\/p>\n

Pedestrian accidents in Hawaii<\/h2>\n

Preliminary data reported 20 traffic-related fatalities between January 1st and March 15th. From that record, 14 of those fatalities involved pedestrians, 3 involved motor vehicle occupants, and 3 involved motorcycles.<\/p>\n

By comparison, there was only one pedestrian fatality in the last year, which requires further initiatives from authorities.<\/p>\n

The pedestrian fatalities during the 2018 period include 9 people who were killed by crossing the street, in which 6 of them were not in marked crosswalks.<\/p>\n

Other 5 were killed while outside of the car, who also count as pedestrians.<\/p>\n

Pedestrian safety awareness and campaign<\/h2>\n

David Ige, State Governor, commented:<\/p>\n

Although we\u2019re talking numbers and statistics, I want everyone to remember what each number represents. A family member or friend is lost forever every time the traffic fatality count increases. This year, nearly three-quarters of the deaths on Hawaii roads have been pedestrians. That is an unacceptable start to the year and we\u2019re committing to raising awareness of safe driving and pedestrian behaviors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Transportation Department also welcomes suggestions from the public with messages via Twitter (#safeHIroads) and Facebook, as a collective way of enhancing highway safety awareness.<\/p>\n

Chosen social media submissions will be announced on HDOT social media platforms with credits given to the author.<\/p>\n

Ed Sniffen, Deputy Director for Highways, said:<\/p>\n

Given the increase in pedestrian fatalities this year, we owe it to the road users of Hawaii to aggressively push our safety messaging by any means available. A number of states are effectively pushing out messaging on highway safety through their systems and message boards and we want it to be a sobering reminder for our drivers as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
