A study analyzing pedestrian crashes in Louisiana from 2017-2021 found that a significant portion of non-intersection pedestrian accidents occur relatively close to intersections. Researchers utilized a "distance to intersection" framework, identifying that nearly half of these crashes happened within 198 feet of an intersection. The study further categorized crashes into zones based on proximity to intersections and employed Association Rules Mining to uncover patterns and factors contributing to these incidents, offering recommendations for targeted safety measures.
