Transport for London
Improvement in safety on the roads but a commitment to transport strategy remains
Transport for London (TfL) has published annual casualty statistics that show the number of people killed or seriously injured on London’s roads in 2023 fell by 6%, from 3,974 to 3,709, the lowest level on record outside of the pandemic aff ected years. T is marks important progress towards the Mayor’s
Vision Zero goal of eliminating death and serious injury from London’s streets by 2041. T e number of people killed and seriously injured on London’s roads has also reduced overall by 24% against the 2010-2014 baseline.
However, the fact is that 95 people were killed on
London’s roads, and collective action is still needed, and TfL remains committed to working closely with London’s boroughs, the police and other partners to carry out the work needed to achieve this goal. People walking, cycling and motorcycling continue
to be most at risk, with 2,981 people killed or seriously injured, making up 80% of all people killed or seriously injured in 2023. T e number of people killed while cycling has fallen by 40% against the 2010-14 baseline, from 13 to eight. Data shows that cycling journeys have continued to increase with the number of daily cycle journeys increasing to 1.26 million in 2023, up by 6.3% since 2022 from 1.18 million, suggesting that cycling trips have become safer overall. Concerns around safety remain one of the biggest barriers to cycling. To continue to reduce risk and increase the number of people who choose to cycle, there is a need to continue to introduce safe, segregated cycling infrastructure, lower speeds and road safety initiatives.
