Correct answer
It generally increases injury severity.
It tends to increase severity and the likelihood of fatal injury. Impact speed and vehicle and pedestrian characteristics matter; road type alone does not determine which collisions are most severe. An unsupported universal ranking of conventional roads above motorways should not be asserted without data and a defined measure. Reduce speed and anticipate pedestrians.
