This study was aimed at exploring accident statistics and suggesting counter measures to mitigate road traffic crashes in Peshawar, Pakistan, and was conducted in 2015-16. Data was extracted from all 30 police stations in cantonment, city and rural circles for the 2003-12 period. A total of 3,280 crashes were reported, including 856(26%) fatal and 2,424(74%) non-fatal ones. Moreover, 602(69%) fatalities and 1,782(59%) injuries of overall road traffic fatalities and injuries during the period studied were borne by pedestrians. No regular annual pattern was noticed for overall and pedestrians' fatalities and injuries. Detailed RTCs' analysis, police officials' interviews and engineering judgement during field visits indicate that there is a dire deficiency of physical infrastructure for pedestrians, signage and markings. There is a need to improve post-crash evaluation and implement counter measures for speed control.
本研究旨在探究巴基斯坦白沙瓦的事故统计数据，并提出减轻道路交通事故的应对措施，于2015 - 2016年开展。数据取自2003 - 2012年期间军区、城市和农村地区的所有30个警察局。共报告了3280起事故，其中856起（26%）为致命事故，2424起（74%）为非致命事故。此外，在所研究期间，行人占道路交通事故总死亡人数的602人（69%）和总受伤人数的1782人（59%）。总体及行人的伤亡情况未发现有规律的年度模式。详细的道路交通事故分析、对警方官员的访谈以及实地考察中的工程判断表明，行人的实体基础设施、 signage和标记严重不足。有必要改进事故后评估并实施速度控制的应对措施。 （注：原文中signage不太明确准确意思，这里保留英文未翻译）
