Brisk walking
Estimated population-level acute risk associated with brisk-paced walking, such as exercise walking or commuting on foot.
Base risk estimate
0.033 micromorts per miles
Population-level estimate. Not a personal prediction.
Assumptions
Reflects UK population-level pedestrian risk on public roads. Same methodology as walking-urban-mile.
Limitations
UK-specific data. Risk varies by route type, road crossings, infrastructure, traffic volume, and country. The distinction from leisurely walking is primarily for UX; the underlying pedestrian fatality rate is identical.
Source notes
Uses the same UK DfT pedestrian fatality rate as walking-urban-mile. Pedestrian traffic risk per mile does not meaningfully differ by walking pace; this activity is distinguished for UX context rather than risk difference.
