The numbers of reported cyclist fatalities and serious injuries that have been recorded in Great Britain for each year since 2007 where poorly maintained roads could be considered to be a contributory factor is provided in the table. A breakdown for all the road networks specified is not available centrally.<\/p>
The heading \u201cPoor or defective road surface\u201d cover columns 2 and 3 of the table. Whilst, the heading \u201cInadequate or masked signs or road markings\u201d cover column 4 and 5.<\/ins><\/p> Reported cyclist serious and fatal injuries in GB where poorly maintained roads is reported as a contributory factor1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Poor or defective road surface <\/strong><\/p><\/td> Inadequate or masked signs or road markings<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Year<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Reported Cyclist Fatilities<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Reported Cyclist Serious Injuries<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Reported Cyclist Fatilities<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Reported Cyclist Serious Injuries<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2007<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 15<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2008<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 18<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2009<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 29<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2010<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> 25<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2011<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 42<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2012<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 41<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2013<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 38<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 11<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2014<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 55<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 10<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2015<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 45<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 11<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2016<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 60<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Source: DfT STATS19 reported road casualties<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> 1 <\/sup>Includes only casualties where a police officer attended the scene and in which a contributory factor was reported.

They give an indication of which factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident. Officers do not need to carry out a full investigation of the incident before allocating contributory factors; they usually use professional judgement about what they can see at the scene.<\/p> <\/p> Not all accidents are included in the contributory factor data; only accidents where the police attended the scene and reported at least one contributory factor are included. A total of 73% of accidents reported to the police in 2016 met these criteria although each accident can have multiple contributory factors attributed to them.<\/p>"}
