Pedestrian safety is essential to realize a walkable city. This study analyzed the impact of road infrastructure and traffic control on severity of pedestrian–vehicle crashes at intersections and non-intersections. We applied a bias-reduced logistic regression analysis using 86,406 pedestrian–vehicle crashes data including 2636 fatal accidents in Japan. The results of the study indicate that medians increased the severity of crashes at intersections; on the other hand, they decreased the severity at non-intersections. In addition, flashing traffic signals increase the severity while stop signs decrease the severity at intersections.
