Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable people on the road. In Oklahoma in 2022, 96 pedestrians were killed on the state's roads. This is a drop from the previous year, but it is still a lot more than a decade ago. In 2022, 2.39 pedestrian deaths were reported for every 100,000 people in Oklahoma. This put the state in sixteenth place in the country. In 2021, there were 250 crashes involving pedestrians in Oklahoma City. At least 54 of the victims were seriously hurt. In Oklahoma City, accidents involving pedestrians are going down in the downtown area but going up in the suburbs and along state roads. In the United States in 2022, 18 percent of all traffic deaths and three percent of all traffic injuries were caused by pedestrians.
