The recent Transport for London report indicates a significant drop in road fatalities in the capital, with a 30% decrease since the 2010-14 baseline. In 2023, fatalities hit a historic low, marking a 6% reduction from 2022. However, challenges remain, as urban areas see over 23,000 collisions with vulnerable road users—pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists—being most at risk. Neighbourhood deprivation is linked to higher collision rates, with the poorest areas experiencing significantly more incidents compared to wealthier neighborhoods, highlighting an ongoing challenge in ensuring road safety for all.
Overall, the number of people killed or seriously injured on the city's roads fell by six per cent from 2022, dropping from 3,961 to 3,710.
Motorcyclists, in particular, were 15 times more likely to be involved in fatal collisions compared to other transport modes.
