How pedestrians, cyclists and drivers can get along a little better

It's war out there as an ever-increasing number of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists compete for space on the world's roads.

While the number of Canadians killed on the roads has been falling steadily since the early 1970s, the percentage of fatal accidents involving pedestrians killed has remained around 13 per cent. According to Transport Canada:

419 pedestrians were killed in 1999.
335 pedestrians were killed in 2001.
374 pedestrians were killed in 2006.
