The Morning Standard
|August 12, 2025
KERALA'S roads are not safe for pedestrians, with their deaths accounting for 26.5% — more than one-fourth — of the total number of road fatalities in the state.
As per a study by the NATPAC (National Transportation Planning and Research Centre), the state has 400 pedestrian-vulnerable corridors — stretches of roads where risks to walkers are exceptionally high — spanning a total of 555.81 km.
The study said more than 5,100 pedestrians died in road crashes in Kerala between 2018 and 2022 in these corridors. The NATPAC analysis also found that 62% of the 400 corridors lack basic pedestrian facilities like footpaths and zebra crossings, further elevating risks.
