The Road Safety Comparison web site

21 March 2013

The Road Safety Comparison web site that will help public and road safety professionals compare the road safety performance of local authorities was launched on 21st March.

The Road Safety Comparison Site makes clear to the public, local authorities and other partners how a local highway authority is performing by putting collision and casualty numbers into context. By setting those numbers against population, traffic levels, road length and authority spend, we have produced a set of indicators showing performance over the last seven years and where that authority stands against others.

The site also provides a mapping facility which can be filtered so that a user can, for example, see how many cyclists or children have been involved in collisions on a particular road.
