This trend has continued into the 2020s, and now more than three-quarters of US pedestrian fatalities are at night.<\/p>\n<p>This presentation by Robert Schneider will draw on research conducted by 51ÁÔÆæ as a part of a National Cooperative Highway Research Program team to understand how the geographic layout and design of our roadway system has evolved over time to contribute to this uniquely American problem. The outcomes of this research look beyond individualistic strategies (such as having pedestrians wear reflective clothing) toward systemic solutions to the problem (such as redesigning streets with fewer lanes and enhanced pedestrian crossings, improving roadway lighting, and reducing nighttime speed limits).<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal Friday afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library, that give members of the 51ÁÔÆæ community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues\u2019 adventures abroad and afield.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">All programs are free and open to the public.
