FATAL TRAFFIC CRASH FACTOR: <br />MOTOR VEHICLE MODEL YEAR <br />Improvements to motor vehicle design for safety over time have contributed to a decrease in <br />motorist fatalities. Over that same time, the number of pedestrian deaths have increased (see <br />Figure 22). However, a large percentage of motor vehicles involved in fatal traffic crashes on <br />Hawaii Island from 2013 through 2018 were over 10 years old (see Figure 23), thus not fully <br />benefiting from the advancements in motor vehicle safety. <br />FIGURE 22. NATIONAL TRAFFIC FATALITY TRENDS (YEARS 2008-2017) <br />From 2008-2017, pedestrian fataliti?-; <br />increased by 35%. When combined, <br />all other traffic deaths decreased 6% <br />over the same period. <br />=GfISA <br />FIGURE 23.
