NEW DELHI: Almost 45% of the pedestrian deaths in the national capital region can be attributed to walkers stepping onto the road because of frequent breaks in footpaths, a study conducted by the Delhi traffic police reveals.

It also shows that more than 50% of footpath space has been encroached upon by shops or other structures that block the pedestrian's right of way. Police officers say stretches which do not have a continuous footpath have been identified and marked to civic bodies for action.

In Delhi, the traffic police have identified over 100 pedestrian stretches encroached by the parking mafia, public toilets or dumping vats. Around 800 pedestrians have died in accidents this year, accounting for nearly half of all road death till September.
