Policy Key Facts
The vast majority of pedestrians who are killed or injured in collisions
are hit by a motor vehicle, not a cycle. From 2007 to 2016 (GB), in any
location (i.e. in the road or on the footway, urban and rural):
Cycles were involved on average in about three pedestrian fatalities a
year, and 82 serious injuries. This represents c.0.6% of pedestrian
fatalities overall, and 1.5% of serious injuries.
Cars were involved on average in about 317 pedestrian fatalities a year,
and 4,394 serious injuries. This represents around 67.5% of pedestrian
fatalities, and over four fifths (81%) of pedestrian serious injuries.
Altogether, motor vehicles (i.e. cars, motorbikes, buses, vans, lorries
etc.) were involved in 99.4% of collisions in which a pedestrian died.
In 2016, 43 pedestrians died in collisions involving a vehicle on the
footway or verge. None of them involved a cycle.
From 2007-16, no pedestrians in Britain were killed by red light
jumping cyclists, while around five a year were killed by red light
jumping drivers.
