Across all age groups, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pedestrians had higher crash involvement and fatality rates. Among those aged 35\u201344\u2009years, the likelihood of being involved in a fatal crash increased 35\u2010fold (95% CI: 8.81\u2013305.88), while severe injury risk increased 14\u2010fold (95% CI: 8.83\u201323.81). Most crashes occurred during clear weather and light traffic, on straight, flat, sealed and dry roads. Factors that influence the severity of injuries in a pedestrian crash are visibility, road speed limit and driver and pedestrian alcohol and drug use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Improving lighting on roads with speed limits \u2265\u200970\u2009km\/h should be prioritised, or speed limits reduced where lighting upgrades are not feasible.
