Managing road safety
Annual collision data review
Our Road Safety Strategy sets out a vision and a set of objectives that we will work towards in our road safety activities.
An annual review of a range of indicators will inform the road safety position in Swindon and help to inform road safety priorities going forward.
Every year on Swindon’s network, there are an average of 354 road traffic collisions, resulting in an average of 442 casualties.
Within the collision dashboard you will see that our data shows road casualties are decreasing across all types of recorded casualty collisions.
The most common 'human errors', contributory factors that precede our collision are shown, with the most common being:
- driver failing to look properly, being careless, reckless, or in a hurry
- slippery road
- failing to judge another person’s speed
The collision data review analysis of the last six full calendar years, can be viewed via the link below:
Collision data review (coming soon)
Information on reported injury collisions in Swindon, and nationally, is available via the CrashMap website.
Please note: we only record personal injury collisions that have been reported to the police and there is a delay before appearing on our database.
Collison Data regarding personal injury collisions is collected by Wiltshire Police in accordance with the Department for Transport Stats 19 requirements. Every effort is made to ensure that this data is accurate. It is however subject to change should further information become available.
This data may not be fully validated and while every effort is made to ensure its accuracy, any statistics provided may not match those published elsewhere.
We do not hold collision data where there are no recorded casualties or the incident has not been reported to the police.
We take accessibility seriously and have incorporated accessibility functionality to our Power BI dashboard style reports to allow content to be as accessible as possible.
If you find some of the information not accessible, need guidance or an alternative format, email: roadsafety@swindon.gov.uk.
