Pedestrian fatalities dropped in July 2026 following intensified enforcement and compliance checks targeting road users who neglect designated crossing points, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) reported. July 2026 saw 146 pedestrian deaths, a 17.98 percent decrease from 178 fatalities in July 2025, according to the NTSA's July 2026 Road Safety Status Report.
The reduction is partly due to ongoing enforcement operations that encourage pedestrians to use designated crossing points and follow traffic regulations. The NTSA emphasized the importance of using designated crossing points, obeying traffic signals, and exercising caution when crossing roads. Authorities continue to urge all road users to prioritize safety and comply with traffic regulations to maintain the declining trend in fatalities.
