question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the number of road accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians has increased by almost 50 per cent between 2009 and 2015; what assessment they have made of the difficulty of identifying the cyclists who infringe the rules for cyclists; and what consideration they are giving to introducing measures to improve the identification of cyclists.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>The number of road accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians has increased by 51.3 per cent between 2009 and 2015. In 2009 the number of pedestrians hit by a cyclist was 275 compared to 416 in 2015. The Department has made no recent assessment of the difficulties of identifying cyclists; the police consider they have sufficient powers to investigate if they are unsure of a person’s identity. The Cycle Safety Review was announced on 21 September 2017. Phase 1 of the review will consider the case for a new offence for cyclists akin to causing death or serious injury by careless or dangerous driving.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 31/10/2017 12:48:24 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2017 answer text <p>There were 99 pedal cyclist KSIs (killed or seriously injured casualties) in reported road accidents allocated the contributory factor “Poor or Defective road surface” on local roads (for England) or all non-motorway roads (for Scotland and Wales) from 2014 to 2015. A local road has been defined as a road maintained by the local authority. The following table shows the totals for each of the separate years, by road class:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>GB</p></td><td><p>A<sup>1</sup></p></td><td><p>B</p></td><td><p>Other<sup>2</sup></p></td><td><p>Total</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>16</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>29</p></td><td><p>53</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>46</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong><em>Total</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>27</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>13</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>59</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>99</em></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><sup> </sup></p><p><sup>1</sup> Includes A roads maintained by Transport Scotland and the Welsh Government.</p><p><sup>2 </sup>Includes C and unclassified roads.</p><p> </p><p>The contributory factors reflect the reporting officer’s opinion at the time of reporting and are not necessarily the result of extensive investigation. Moreover it is recognised that subsequent enquires could lead to the reporting officer changing their opinion. It is important to note where some factors may have contributed to a cause of an accident, it may be difficult for a police officer attending the scene after the accident has occurred to identify these factors. Only around 70-80 per cent of accidents a year are attended by police officers and have valid contributory factor information.</p><p> </p><p>Figures for 2016 will be available from June 2017.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/01/2017 12:20:18 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
