According to the Massachusetts pedestrian safety website, in 2018 there were 78 reported pedestrian fatalities across Massachusetts. The majority of these accidents occurred between 3pm and midnight. Some of the risk factors for pedestrians have been poor lighting, an area without traffic lights, or no sidewalks.
