United Kingdom RAP Lead Fundação de Segurança no Trânsito has released Britain’s Crash Risk Mapping Results for 2024, tracking the safety performance of Great Britain’s motorways and ‘A’ roads.
The assessed roads make up less than 14 per cent of the whole network, but almost 60 per cent of all fatal crashes and more than 40 per cent of serious road crashes occur on these roads.
The 2024 Report shows how risk varies across the road network and provides commentary on approaches for prioritisation for investment. It identifies groups of routes that meet different value for money criteria depending on the network to which they belong.
High-return road safety schemes are available across Great Britain, often with much better benefit-cost ratios than for other public sector investment.
RSF Executive Director Suzy Charman said, “It’s great to release our annual Crash Risk Mapping results for another year. Thanks also to Agilysis for their work in providing our interactive Results Portal.”
The Portal web maps show the statistical risk of a fatal or serious injury crash occurring on Britain’s motorway and ‘A’ road network for 2020-2022.
