I analyzed traffic fatalities and homicides related to leaving home for routine activities, and considered connections between these fatalities and the built environment.
I analyzed city, county, state, and federal data for traffic fatalities and homicides by strangers for 15 metropolitan areas, and classified deaths as occurring in the central city, in inner suburbs, or in outer suburbs (exurbs).
Traffic fatality rates were highest in exurban areas. Combined traffic fatality and homicide-by-stranger rates were higher in some or all outer counties than in central cities or inner suburbs in all of the metropolitan areas studied.
Traffic fatalities are largely unrecognized as a danger to be factored into residential location decisions. Land use controls that deter sprawl along narrow exurban roads can reduce the mortality risks associated with leaving home.
我分析了与离家进行日常活动相关的交通死亡事故和凶杀案，并探讨了这些死亡事故与建成环境之间的联系。
我分析了15个大都市区的城市、县、州和联邦关于交通死亡事故和陌生人凶杀案的数据，并将死亡情况分类为发生在中心城区、内郊区或外郊区（远郊区）。
远郊区的交通死亡率最高。在所有研究的大都市区中，一些或所有外县的交通死亡事故和陌生人凶杀案综合发生率高于中心城区或内郊区。
交通死亡事故在很大程度上未被视为影响居住选址决策的危险因素。阻止沿狭窄远郊道路蔓延的土地使用控制措施可以降低离家出行相关的死亡风险。
