Today, we discuss the effect of front-end vehicle height on pedestrian death risk, published by Dr. Justin Tyndall in the Economics of Transportation in March 2024. The article is premised on the idea that increased vehicle heights in the United States may be contributing to the fact that the number of pedestrians killed annually in collisions has increased by 72% from 2010 to 2021. We delve into the policies that can be implemented to stop the trend of making the average vehicle more dangerous.
