“…In addition to the three E’s, we might harness new technologies to alter travel behaviors. Although there is still debate on the topic, research is beginning to emerge suggesting that ride hailing programs may be an attractive alternative to drinking and driving and can help to reduce DUI behavior ( 49 , 50 ). Again, although we were not able to find research exploring the feasibility of ride hailing as an alternative to drinking and walking, this recommendation may be explored with future research.…”

The United States experienced a 53% increase in pedestrian fatalities between 2009 and 2018, with 2018 having a 3.4% increase from 2017. Of the 2018 pedestrian fatalities with known lighting conditions, 76% occurred in dark/nighttime conditions, with 50% occurring between 6:00 and 11:59 p.m. Despite past research exploring several contributing characteristics for nighttime pedestrian crashes, there is limited research that investigates the spatial aspects of land use attributes and sociodemographic factors. Have these nighttime pedestrian collisions been concentrated in certain land uses? Could an establishment with the capacity to serve alcohol invoke a greater risk of pedestrian crashes? Does sociodemographic status correlate with clustering for fatal crashes, severe crashes, or both? To better understand the spatial characteristics of the recent increase in pedestrian collisions, we analyzed crash data from Albuquerque, New Mexico for pedestrian fatalities and severe injuries from 2013 to 2018 relative to lighting condition, land use (with a focus on alcohol establishments), and race/ethnicity on the block group level. We used confidence intervals and Getis-Ord Gi* statistics to verify the statistical integrity of the trends. Findings suggested that pedestrian fatality and severe injury rates were higher within a quarter mile of bars at night and in areas with elevated concentrations of minority populations. Pedestrian fatality and severe injury hot spots appeared to have higher percentages of non-white residents, coupled with lower sidewalk coverage and more arterials or collectors.

Driving under the influence of alcohol has been recognized as a significant contributing factor to the occurrence of one out of four road traffic crashes. Young drivers are acknowledged as a particularly hazardous group of road users because of insufficient driving experience, but also because of unsafe behavior while behind the wheel, which encompasses driving under the influence of alcohol. The primary aim of this study was to examine the perception of a campaign about driving under the influence of alcohol, while the secondary goal is to present the self-reported behavior and attitudes of young drivers about driving under the influence of alcohol in the Republic of Serbia. Data were collected through a questionnaire created by a multidisciplinary team of experts in the fields of traffic engineering, psychology, and education. A total of 4,015 respondents participated in the study, aged from 16 to 30. The results show that younger respondents have a 1.89 times higher chance of remembering the road traffic safety campaign then older ones. In addition, respondents were 5.057 times more likely to perceive and remember campaign messages that have fewer words than campaign messages that have more words.
