the intersection. Twenty-two percent of the pedestrians were crossing the roadway when killed. About
60% of pedestrian crashes occurred during dark, dawn, or dusk conditions.
Intersections identified as having the highest number of pedestrian crashes are listed in Table 3. Half of
the highest pedestrian crash intersections were located in downtown Little Rock.
