About our casualty data
Every year on Gloucestershire’s roads, there are around 1000 personal injury road traffic collisions, resulting in a larger number of casualties.
The Road Safety Team maintains a database of statistics on all personal injury road collisions records within the county. Gloucestershire Constabulary provides this information to us and each report is carefully checked for accuracy. Details like road type, road number and grid reference are especially important to us.
The council has access to collisions dating back to 1983 - over 100,000 records, which can be used together with our computer mapping system to monitor risk, accident clusters and concentrations on the highway network. This enables us to prioritise our annual programme and target our spending on road improvements.
Gloucestershire Constabulary also send this data to the Department for Transport to assist with the compilation of national road casualty statistics.

Gloucestershire Constabulary also send this data to the Department for Transport to assist with the compilation of national road casualty statistics.
In addition to identifying collisions clusters and “hotspots”, the database can also be used to:
- Determine the nature and characteristics of collisions along routes
- Help prioritise spending on road improvements
- Ensure that proposals with road safety benefits receive priority consideration
- Identify speed related collision clusters where safety cameras may be beneficial or additional enforcement may be required
- Identify locations where speed limit reductions might be beneficial

Please note that Gloucestershire Constabulary changed their method of reporting injury collisions in 2015 and as a result there has been an increase in the number of serious casualties in Gloucestershire.
The Department of Transport is investigating nationally the effect of this change. Until the results of the investigation is known the reporting of all killed and serious injury (KSI) figures should be viewed with caution.
