Bit disappointed to see the one where I ended up in A&amp;E with a bike split in 2 classed as 'slight' rather than 'serious' though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21546#post-378964 Wed, 12 Mar 2025 17:07:46 +0000 Frenchy 378964@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you just want a simple count, then doing it manually via <a href="https://www.crashmap.co.uk/Search">crashmap</a> is probably quickest and easiest.</p> <p>The raw data is most likely in one of the tables published by <a href="https://www.transport.gov.scot/publication/reported-road-casualties-scotland-2023/">Transport Scotland</a> or <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/reported-road-accidents-vehicles-and-casualties-tables-for-great-britain">the DfT</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21546#post-378962 Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:15:58 +0000 neddie 378962@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does anyone know if KSI figures exist for Edinburgh?</p> <p>(The TS report only gives a vague "average over 4 years" of casualties by region)</p> <p>There is this article, but what was their source, and is there anything more recent?</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/hundreds-edinburgh-crash-casualties-spark-20767638" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/hundreds-edinburgh-crash-casualties-spark-20767638</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21546#post-375226 Thu, 30 May 2024 09:02:58 +0000 Morningsider 375226@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Frenchy - thanks. I misread that statistic. Slightly odd framing by Transport Scotland, as only pedestrian fatalities are presented in that way. The other modes of transport are reported as the annual totals, rather than the change between the two years. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21546#post-375223 Wed, 29 May 2024 23:03:37 +0000 neddie 375223@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Really saddening. </p> <p>See also<br /> <a href="https://roadtrafficaccidentlaw.co.uk/key-reported-road-casualties-scotland-2023/" rel="nofollow">https://roadtrafficaccidentlaw.co.uk/key-reported-road-casualties-scotland-2023/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21546#post-375221 Wed, 29 May 2024 22:15:43 +0000 Frenchy 375221@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Pedestrian fatalities increased from 13 in 2022 to 47 in 2023."</p> <p>The report actually says that pedestrian fatalities increased <em>by</em> 13 (from 34 in 2022 to 47 in 2023).</p> <p>This is still terrible, of course. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21546#post-375220 Wed, 29 May 2024 21:48:26 +0000 Morningsider 375220@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Holy ####. Transport Scotland has just published <a href="https://www.transport.gov.scot/media/vgebxuz3/key-reported-road-casualties-scotland-2023.pdf">the 2023 statistics</a> for road injuries and deaths.</p> <p>Pedestrian fatalities increased from 13 in 2022 to 47 in 2023. Cyclist fatalities increased from 2 to 7.</p> <p>FORTY SEVEN PEDESTRIAN DEATHS! A 360% increase. I know annual statistics are subject to fluctuation, but this is off the charts. I note that T<a href="https://www.transport.gov.scot/news/transport-secretary-comments-on-reported-road-casualty-statistics-2023/">ransport Scotland's press release</a> accompanying the publication doesn't even mention this statistic.</p> <p>Also - our politicians have spent the day bleating about the safety of the A9 and A720, without a mention of pedestrian deaths or any action to prevent them. Sickening. </p>
