Yes, I think that saying whether citations were issued is part of the education process, similar to saying whether a driver was wearing a seat belt or using a helmet (motorcycle or bicycle), whether speed or alcohol were a factor, etc.
Many people still don't realize that drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk in all 50 states. (In some states they are required to stop, in some just yield, and in some the pedestrian does not even need to enter the crosswalk to require the driver to yield.) I think it would be useful to point out that drivers can get a ticket for not yielding, and they sure as hell should get a ticket for hitting someone. And I know there are reporters, legislators, and maybe some police officers on this list. Just dropping a hint...
