For the remaining crashes, the <br />most common actions by drivers that did contribute to Serious Ped+Bike <br />crashes includes: <br />Failure to yield - 11 % (6%on Highways to 14%on MSAS) <br />Distracted - 8% (7% on City streets to 9% on Country roads) <br />Careless/Reckless - 5% (3% on MSAS to *% on Muni -streets) <br />Failure to Obey Signal/Sign - 1% (0.2%on Highways to 1 %on Muni -streets) <br />Speeding - 1% (0.6%on County roads to 2%on Highway) <br />Contributing factors were reviewed for Serious Ped+Bike crashes in Minneapolis <br />and St. Paul because these two cities account for 36% of all Ped+Bike crashes <br />and they are leading the initiative to lower urban speed Iimits.The results in <br />Minneapolis and St. Paul closely match the statewide distribution - Fail to Yield <br />and Distracted were the two most common driver behaviors. However, speeding <br />was twice the statewide average -2% in each city. <br />Serious Ped+Bike crashes are not evenly distributed across Minnesota's system <br />of highways and streets. A plurality of Serious Ped+Bike crashes occur along city <br />streets (44%) and more than one - half of these crashes occur along the MSA <br />system. <br />To account for differences in mileage among the different roadway jurisdictions, <br />crash densitywas computed (serious Ped+Bike crashes/mile/year). City streets <br />have a higher crash density (0.0047) than State highways or county roads and the <br />fraction of city streets on the MSAS have the highest crash density (0.017), which <br />is more than 9 times the statewide total. <br />33 <br />Page 165 of 185 <br />
