The number of people killed or seriously injured on London’s roads has fallen substantially in recent years
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017
KSIs fell to the lowest level on record in 2015 and 42 per cent down against the baseline.
The most recent figures to Q2 of 2016 show that KSIs have fallen by 43 per cent from the baseline.
40%
9%
30%
Statistically significant reductions in KSIs in the rolling year to August 2016 against the 2005-09 baselineSlide3
Vulnerable road users now make up 80 per cent of all KSIs on London’s roads
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017
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.Slide4
Launch of Safer London streets
New approach to road safety strategy
Re-frames our existing programme of activity
Sets our ambition for the future
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017Slide5
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.

Travelling too fast
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’.

KSI risk to vulnerable rod users is highest in outer London boroughs
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017Slide10
Vulnerable road user risk has fallen in most London boroughs
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017Slide11
KSI risk is highest amongst motorcyclists and cyclists and is highest amongst younger and older age groups
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017Slide12
We can also examine risk paths by age group, amongst different road users

We are making data open and easy to access....
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017Slide14
.. and developing bespoke tools for our borough and police partners
Road Safety GB Joining the Dots Conference 2017Slide15
.. we are also working with the police and the
DfT to improve the way that road safety data is collectedCOPA (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
