"Fort Lauderdale averaged 12 pedestrian fatalities per year from 1998 to 2000. Miami, with more than double Fort Lauderdale's population, averaged 22 fatalities in that time period. Common themes: the overwhelming majority of fatalities occurred outside intersections, two-thirds took place on urban roads and half happened at night. Alcohol was more of a factor for victims than drivers; 37% of the pedestrians killed had alcohol in their system, compared to 18% of the drivers."
