‘Numbers in Safety’ for Pedestrians in Melbourne
FindingsThe ‘Safety in Numbers’ (SIN) phenomenon suggests that pedestrian presence enhances the safety conditions of a street or an intersection. The inverse relationship, which we call ‘Numbers in Safety’ (NIS), hypothesises that safer streets attract more pedestrians. This study tests the relationship using a panel regression analysis on six years (2014-2019)
