NHTSA Proposes Rule to Reduce Pedestrian Deaths Amid 57% Increase
Sep 9, 2024, 04:42 PM
On September 9, 2024, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed a new rule aimed at reducing pedestrian deaths by requiring vehicle redesigns. The proposal focuses on redesigning the front ends of pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have been identified as major contributors to pedestrian fatalities. This initiative comes in response to a 57% increase in pedestrian deaths since 2013. The proposed standard would establish test procedures simulating head-to-hood impacts to ensure that new passenger vehicles, including increasingly large SUVs and pickup trucks, are designed to minimize serious or fatal injuries in pedestrian crashes.
