In this study we aimed to examine changes in pedestrian fatality between 2006 and 2010 in China using non-police reported data. A multi-year study was conducted based on the mortality data during 2006-2010 from the Disease Surveillance Points （DSP） data in China. Between 2006 and 2010, the crude pedestrian mortality increased from 7.0 to 10.5 per 100 000 populations. Annual pedestrian mortality from DSP data was 13 times in 2006 and 55 times in 2010 mortality for pedestrians and passengers from police-reported data in the corresponding years.
