2 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 The number of people killed or seriously injured on London’s roads has fallen substantially in recent years 40 % 9% 30 % Statistically significant reductions in KSIs in the rolling year to August 2016 against the 2005 -09 baseline • KSIs fell to the lowest level on record in 2015 and 42 per cent down against the baseline. • The most recent figures to Q 2 of 2016 show that KSIs have fallen by 43 per cent from the baseline.

3 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 Vulnerable road users now make up 80 per cent of all KSIs on London’s roads • KSIs fell by 67 percent between 1993 and 2015, to the lowest number on record, linked to road safety improvements (e. g. vehicle safety, infrastructure and driver behaviour). • The greatest reductions were amongst car occupants (89%) and pedestrians (79%). cyclist KSIs fell by 40%, despite substantial increases in cycling. • Vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists) now represent 80 percent of KSI and are forecast to be almost all KSIs by 2041.

4 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 Launch of Safer London streets • New approach to road safety strategy • Re-frames our existing programme of activity • Sets our ambition for the future Travelli ng too fast Noncomplian ce Distractio n Sources of Road Danger Risky Manoeuvr es Drink/ Drugs

5 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 75 percent of KSI collisions and 85 percent of all collisions involve a source of road danger STATS 19 Contributory factors • Up to six STATS 19 ‘contributory factors’ can be assigned in a collision • Contributory factors are subjective and the reporting officer’s opinion at the time of the collision • There are limitations but are useful to identify sources of road danger • Other data is also collected to supplement this information.

6 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 • Priority links and nodes • Motorcyclist conflicts Fatalities - where the motorcyclist lost control. KSIs –the other vehicle turning right across the path of the motorcyclist. • Pedestrian conflicts Fatalities- when a car is going ahead and pedestrian crossing a road • Travelling too fast KSIs – the vehicle going ahead, with the pedestrian not on a crossing. • Cyclist conflicts Fatalities – the vehicle turning left across the path of the cyclist KSIs – the other vehicle turning right across the path of the cyclist, followed by passing too close and ‘dooring’.

9 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 KSI risk to vulnerable rod users is highest in outer London boroughs

10 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 Vulnerable road user risk has fallen in most London boroughs

11 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 KSI risk is highest amongst motorcyclists and is highest amongst younger and older age groups

12 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 We can also examine risk paths by age group, amongst different road users

13 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 We are making data open and easy to access. . https: //tfl. gov. uk/corporate/safety-and-security/road-safety/london-collision

14 ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 . . and developing bespoke tools for our borough and police partners

ROAD SAFETY GB JOINING THE DOTS CONFERENCE 2017 15 . . we are also working with the police and the Df. T to improve the way that road safety data is collected COPA (Case Overview and Preparation Application) is the new system that the Metropolitan Police are using to record road casualties in ‘fast time’ COPA has many benefits for casualty reporting and analysis: • • Enhanced quality and timeliness; Improved identification of vehicle types; Linking of collisions to investigations data; Access to damage only collision data and online selfreporting • Adoption of the new national STATS 19 format
