VULNERABLE ROADWAY USERS <br /> Over the past seven years, people traveling by foot, bicycle, or motorcycle/moped have a much <br /> greater likelihood of being killed than those in automobiles (see Figure 6). Pedestrians are eight times <br /> more likely to be killed on Hawaii Island roads than drivers (see Figure 7). Hawaii has historically <br /> reported a disproportionately high number of pedestrian deaths for elderly adults as compared to <br /> national results'. However, results from Hawaii Island suggest that the percentage of elderly <br /> pedestrians killed is roughly proportional to the percentage of elderly adults in the total population. <br /> Map 2 identifies the location of each fatal traffic crash by mode between the years 2013 and 2019. <br /> Map 3 identifies the location of these High Fatality Corridors and High Fatality Locations in addition to <br /> the location of each fatal traffic crash by mode between the years 2013 and 2019. Communities of <br /> concern, roadway ownership, and the location of available police stations and hospitals have been <br /> delineated as well. <br /> FIGURE 6.
