Between 2018 and 2024 there have been 10 crashes resulting in fatality. Eight of these 10 crashes were pedestrian crashes. This further highlights the need to focus on Vulnerable Roadway Users (VRUs) in the Vision Zero process.
Vulnerable Roadway Users refers to individuals who are at a higher risk of injury in the event of a crash because they are not protected by the structure of a vehicle. This includes pedestrians and cyclists, but also includes motorcyclists, micromobility users (e.g. e-scooters), and other non-motorized users such as skateboarders.
There have been 71 crashes resulting in suspected serious injury between 2018 and 2024. These have predominately been crashes only involving motor vehicles but also included 16 crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists (23%).
In 2024 there were four crashes involving pedestrians and two crashes involving bicyclists, making 2024 the worst year in terms of fatal and suspected serious injury to vulnerable road users between 2018 and 2024. Overall, crashes resulting in fatality or suspected serious injury have increased from 6 per year in 2018 to 21 in 2024.
