Motorcycles are involved in almost half of the fatal and serious injury crashes that occur in Catalonia, Spain – revealing insights shared yesterday in Reial Automobil Club de Catalunya’s (RACC)<\/a> presentation of annual Risk Mapping results according to the iRAP methodology.<\/p>\n

The study is an initiative of the Catalan Traffic Service<\/a> in collaboration of the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition of the Government of Catalonia<\/a> et le Barcelona Provincial Council.<\/a><\/span> It has mapped crash risk on the network each year for 24 years, performance tracking the safety of more than 6,300 km of roads where 93% of mobility and 79% of serious and fatal crashes are concentrated.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal is to provide motorists <\/span>with a risk guide for the road they are travelling on, enabling them to choose their route and adapt their driving and riding to the infrastructure conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The methodology compares the number of serious and fatal crashes that occurred in the last three years (2022 to 2024) on a section of road with traffic volume (in terms of average daily traffic intensity). I<\/span>t also identifies the concentration of motorcycle and moped crashes per kilometre, and those involving heavy vehicles and bicycles. <\/span><\/p>\n
