A multi-pronged approach to road safety Enforcement Engineering Education

The role of enforcement in road safety “Exceeding speed limits, drink or distracted driving and failure to wear a seat belt are still the leading causes of death and serious injury on European roads. Despite legislation designed to prevent all four, many drivers involved in fatal traffic collisions clearly failed to comply with one or more road traffic laws at the time of their collision.” European Transport Safety Council Enforcement

How can we make enforcement effective? Sustained, on-going action - As well as regular ‘ops weeks’ (e.g. mobile phones, speed focus), we have a commitment to regular patrols (Op Safeway) at London’s riskiest junctions.

A11(A1205)_08 and A11(A1205)_09 – Bow Road Amy McGeehin amymcgeehin@tfl.gov.uk Compliance, Policing and On-Street Services Transport for London A11(A1205)_08 and A11(A1205)_09 – Bow Road Pedal Cyclist Who 70 Pedal Cycle collisions occurred on this segment between December 2012 and December 2015. Where known, pedal cycle casualties were mainly recorded as white European males aged between 25 and 34. What Cars were the other vehicle type mostly involved in collisions with pedal cycles along this segment, LGVs were the next most common vehicle type. When Most collisions take place on this segment between 16:00 and 18:59. The peak days for pedal cycle collisions are Tuesday and Friday. How The main contributory* factor applied to pedal cyclist collisions was for a poor turn or manoeuvre. This was more prevalent when applied to LGV drivers. Being careless, reckless, or in a hurry, was the next most common factor. Vehicles completing left and right turns into the path of the cyclist was the most common reason for a collision. * Contributory factors are subjective and down to an officer making a judgement of what happened. There can be multiple contributory factors assigned to an incident (up to six).
