摘要

在21世纪的头20年里，超过10万名行人在美国道路上被车辆撞死，这是一个令人担忧的公共卫生问题。我们利用历史上的州际公路计划作为当地州际公路建设的工具，研究了美国州际公路系统在导致当地行人死亡方面的遗留问题。通过人口普查区运营州际公路大大增加了当地行人的死亡人数。在被州际公路一分为二的17000个区域中，我们估计，由于州际公路的存在，2001-2002年间，平均每一个区域新增2.5名行人死亡。我们发现这些死亡在黑人社区中发生得不成比例。

Highways and pedestrian deaths in US neighborhoods

Over 100,000 pedestrians have been struck and killed by vehicles on US roadways in the first two decades of the 21st century, representing an alarming public health issue. We examine the US Interstate Highway System’s legacy in contributing to local pedestrian deaths using historical Interstate Highway plans as an instrument for local Interstate construction. Operating an Interstate through a census tract increased local pedestrian deaths significantly. Among 17,000 tracts bisected by Interstates, we estimate the average tract experienced 2.5 additional pedestrian deaths between 2001–2020 due to the presence of the Interstate. We find these deaths occur disproportionately in Black communities.
