The number of people killed or seriously injured on London’s roads has fallen substantially in recent years
40% 9%
30%
KSIs fell to the lowest level on record in and 42 per cent down against the baseline.
The most recent figures to Q2 of show that KSIs have fallen by 43 per cent from the baseline.
Statistically significant reductions in KSIs in the rolling year to August 2016 against 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. Launch of Safer London streets

New approach to road safety strategy
Re-frames our existing programme of activity
Sets our ambition for the future
Sources of Road Danger
Travelling too fast

Drink/
Drugs
Distraction
Non-compliance

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
STATS19 Contributory factors
Up to six STATS19 ‘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. Motorcyclist conflicts
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017
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
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’.
Priority links and nodes
Travelling too fast

10. Vulnerable road user risk has fallen in most London boroughs

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 cyclists 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

15. COPA has many benefits for casualty reporting and analysis:
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017
.. we are also working with the police and the DfT 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 self- reporting
Adoption of the new national STATS19 format •
