The forecasted data for the number of pedestrian casualties in France indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 9.8 thousand persons in 2024 and reaching 9.28 thousand persons by 2028. This trend suggests a year-on-year decrease, with a consistent decline of around 0.14-0.15 thousand annually, reflecting improvements in road safety measures or public awareness campaigns. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years highlights a modest decrease, promoting a positive outlook for pedestrian safety.
Key future trends to watch for include advancements in smart traffic management systems, expanded pedestrian zones, and the adoption of autonomous vehicle technologies, which could further reduce pedestrian casualties. Additionally, policy changes and public infrastructure investments will be crucial in sustaining this downward trend.
