RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A new report says the Danville metropolitan
area is the riskiest in Virginia for pedestrians.
The report ranks the Richmond metropolitan area as the second-riskiest, followed by Roanoke, the Washington, D.C.-Arlington-Alexandria region, the Bristol-Kingsport, Tenn. region, Hampton Roads, Lynchburg, the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford region, Winchester,
Charlottesville and Harrisonburg.
Rankings were based on a Pedestrian Danger Index that divided
pedestrian fatality rates by the percentage of residents who walk
to work. Danville's danger index was 169.7, more than twice
Richmond's 74.5.
The national danger index was 52.1.
Transportation for America and the Surface Transportation Policy
Partnership released the report Monday.
