This report is from the First Quarter of this year (2011) here and clearly shows that in spite of a greatly reduced Gatso weapon the fatalities have little changed, thus proving what Safe Speed has stated all along.
The Daily Telegraph has report this story today (5.8.11) with comment from Safe Speed.
Much of this is to do with less traffic volume and also less dense traffic, both found during recessionary periods (verified from history too), plus that motorists do travel more defensively and also that they travel less far, less often and are therefore exposed to less danger.
I have warned that as we climb out of recession we will likely see the KSI numbers rise.
There has been greater numbers of pedestrian deaths, so as people are walking more and living closer to work and as they walk more this is potentially causing more exposure to danger when out and about.
We must encourage people to be more responsible and for better engineering methods to be deployed (in paved/road areas) to help where necessary.
