Montreal took part in a Canadian Automobile Association study that found an average of 4.5 pedestrian‑car near‑miss incidents each day at school crossings.
The research covered 30 school crosswalks in the city, alongside sites in ten other Canadian cities, and used video cameras combined with artificial‑intelligence analysis over a period of five school days. Across all locations, 660 near‑misses were recorded, equating to roughly one near‑miss for every 84 crossings.
