A quasi-experimental study of pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada JO - BMC Public Health SP - 732 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - The presence of school crossing guards has been associated with more walking and more pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions (PMVCs) in area-level cross-sectional analyses. The objectives of the study were to (1) Determine the effect on PMVC rates of newly implemented crossing guards in Toronto, Canada (2) Determine where collisions were located in relation to crossing guards throughout the city, and whether they occurred during school travel times.
