One thing that's striking at is that the fatality locations do nor correlate with the "highest crash rate" locations hardly at all.
The intersection where you are most likely to get hit has a high pedestrian volume and often (in theory) low speed traffic.
While the fatalities here are more likely to happen on high speed streets, sometimes in locations where no one expecting a pedestrian.
Put another way: if we were try to fund "fixes" for the locations with fatalities, it would be mostly locations with a single fatality at those locations, while we have plenty of locations that have several pedestrian-involved crashes per yet.
