Los Angeles continues to face a troubling rise in pedestrian fatalities, with recent data highlighting a disturbing trend. As of April 12, 2025, 39 pedestrians have already lost their lives in vehicle-related collisions. This figure underscores the growing danger faced by those traveling on foot in the city.

The numbers tell a grim story. In 2023, 185 pedestrians were killed in traffic incidents--marking one of the deadliest years on record. In 2022, the city recorded 160 pedestrian deaths. And 2024 had 169 pedestrian fatalities reported. These past few years represent the highest number of pedestrian deaths Los Angeles has seen in more than a decade.

Advocates for safer streets are calling for more urgent action, including better lighting, stricter traffic enforcement, and expanded use of pedestrian-friendly design elements like protected crosswalks and lower speed limits in high-risk areas.

As the city looks for solutions, the hope is that stronger policies and smarter urban planning can help curb these tragedies before more lives are lost.
