According to Halifax Regional Police’s May 2019 report on pedestrian safety, there were 78 vehicle-pedestrian collisions in the Halifax Regional Municipality between January 2019 and May of 2019. That averages out to more than 15 collisions in the HRM every month. Even more worrying, the report found that more than half of those accidents occurred at crosswalks, and 70% of those accidents occurred in the daytime without any obstruction of visibility.
