Within the past decade, approximately 47,000 pedestrians were killed -- the equivalent of a large jet full of passengers crashing nearly every month -- and 668,000 pedestrians were injured in the United States.

Transportation for America released the 2011 edition of their pedestrian safety report -- "Dangerous by Design" -- and results look deadly for those who walk in the South.

Out of the number of fatalities recorded, 67 percent occurred on federal-aid roads yet only two states spent any of their Highway Safety funds to improve infrastructures in 2008.
