Statistics from the Halifax Regional Police show vehicle/pedestrian collisions increased about 55 per cent for the first 11 months of the year compared to the same timeframe in 2013.

One pedestrian who has walked around downtown Halifax every day for years says she feels very nervous. As a result, she's started taping what she sees in an effort to educate drivers.

"It's frustrating. You do wish that more people could see these things and experience how those small actions like rolling through a stop sign can turn very dangerous very quickly," said Krista Spurr.

Now she goes out of her way to make herself as bright as possible and recently started covering herself in reflective gear.

From Jan. 1 to Nov. 30, 2014, there were 223 vehicle/pedestrian collisions, of which 229 pedestrians were involved. Four of the pedestrians have died as a result of the collisions, while nine had serious injuries.

Last year from January to November, there were only 144 vehicle/pedestrian collisions.

The statistics also show that vehicle/pedestrian collisions increased more than 60 per cent this November compared to last year during the same month.

During the month of November 2014, there were 39 collisions, compared to 24 reported incidents in 2013.

The statistics also show that a larger proportion of collisions in November took place in adverse weather conditions or darkness compared to October.

For the first 11 months of the year, slightly more vehicle/pedestrian collisions (60 per cent) occurred in crosswalks compared to last year’s timeframe (57 per cent). Collisions in parking lots fell to 14 per cent of incidents this year, compared to 23 per cent last year.

Fridays have been the most common days for vehicle/pedestrian collisions this year.
