Reported road casualties on the strategic network 2010

This publication comprises statistics on road casualties in accidents reported to the police on the Highways Agency’s reportable Trunk Road Network in 2010.

It follows on from the earlier publications ‘Accidents on the trunk road’ and ‘Reported Casualties on the HA network’, which have been published annually since 1999, providing quantified road safety information and guidance that describes the current state of the Highways Agency’s reportable road network.

It provides a national and local overview of current road safety, as well as a breakdown of road accidents in 2010.

The aim of this document is to:
• Answer safety queries from Government, colleagues and the public.
• Provide a national safety perspective for balancing needs across the network.
• Make sound strategic and budgeting decisions concerning the future management and safety of the network.
• Monitor changes in safety on the network year on year.
• Assist in developing and monitoring the safety statements prepared by agents.
• Assist in the provision of requirements of the EU Directive on Road Infrastructure Safety Management.
