Interesting that New York City has fewer pedestrian deaths than Copenhagen per capita.

I also thought that was interesting! Is Copenhagen behind the curve in Europe?

Part of me wonders if pedestrian-related accidents are reported more accurately than cyclists-related accidents. One report said that cyclist-related accidents in Denmark are underreported by a significant amount (something like 3x less than they should). Makes cyclist safety numbers look much lower than they actually are, which is a topic for another day.

Why are they underreported?

I don't recall. If i can find the report, I'll post it. I believe it was in Dutch, so searching for it isn't as easy as you'd think 🙁
