Introduction
“In 2009, the fatality
rate per million
population was 53.
The 1999 rate was
110 per million
population.”
Road deaths in the Republic of Ireland have fallen to the lowest
level they have been since records were officially taken in 1959. In
terms of fatalities per million population, the rate is now 53, less
than half of the rate in 1999 (110) when the first Government Road
Safety Strategy commenced.
There was an increase in reported minor injury collisions in 2009,
which was contrary to the decreasing trends of recent years.
In recent years, road deaths levelled out at between 340-390, but
from 2008 they have been the lowest since 1959. In 1999, the
fatality rate per million registered vehicles was 257. By 2009, the
rate had fallen to 97 per million registered vehicles.
In 2009, of the 26,495 Garda-recorded motor vehicle traffic
collisions, 238 people were killed, 9,742 people were injured of
which 640 were seriously injured, and 19,880 collisions involved
property or material damage only.
The fatality rate per million population was 53 in 2009, a decrease
of 16 per cent from the 2008 rate of 63.
The estimated cost of all road collisions reported to, and recorded
by, an Garda Síochána in 2009 was €974 million. This is a
reduction of 29 per cent since 2007.
“52% of all
motor vehicles
involved in
fatal collisions
2009 were
registered in
the year 2001
or earlier .”
This report covers all road traffic collisions reported to the Garda
Síochána, where details have been recorded and forwarded to the
Road Safety Authority, involving fatalities, personal injury or
material damage which occurred on public roads in Ireland in 2009.
It details when and where road collisions occurred, who was
involved, contributory actions and contributory factors and the cost
of collisions to the public.
Collisions on private property, such as railway station approaches
or private lanes and car parks are excluded. It also examines
trends in collisions, fatalities and injuries over time in the last
decade as well as the most recent trends in various cross sections
of road traffic and transport systems.
v
IRELAND’S ROAD SAFETY PERFORMANCE
Despite an increase in population, as well as growing numbers of driver licence
holders and registered vehicles, the annual number of fatalities has been declining
since 1999. Data trends in the Republic of Ireland beween1999 and 2009 for
registered vehicles, driver licence holders, population and fatalities are shown in
Figure A1. As illustrated in the graph below there is a decrease in the number of
fatalities.
Since 1999, the population has increased by 19 per cent, registered motor vehicles
has increased by 53 per cent, number of driver licence holders (both full and
provisional) has increased by 30 per cent whereas fuel consumption for road
transport has decreased by 2 per cent and the number of fatalities has decreased by
42 per cent.
Figure A1- Data trends in Ireland 1999-2009
Increasing motorisation versus a decreasing road toll
vi
In 2009 there were 238 road collision
fatalities, an average of 20 deaths per
month, which is the lowest recorded number
of fatalities since 1959 when the safety
records began.
In 2009 there were 9,742 injuries as a result
of road collisions. The number of recorded
injuries resulting from road collisions had
been gradually decreasing between 2005
and 2007, but increased in 2008 and
marginally decreased in 2009.
As the graph (Figure A1) shows, the
reduction in road collision fatalities and
injuries has occurred despite:
Increased population
Between 1999 and 2009 the Republic of
Ireland population grew approximately 19
per cent.
Increased number of driver licence
holders
The number of driver licence holders
overall (full and provisional) has increased
from 2,039,509 in 1999 to 2,648,407 in
2009. Contributing to the increase is an
increase in the proportion of individual
licence holders to adult population (17
years and over). This was 67 per cent in
1996 but by 2009 this proportion had
increased to 76 per cent.
Increased number of registered
vehicles
The number of registered motor vehicles
and motor cycles increased by 53 per cent
from1,608,156 in 1999 to 2,467,660 in
2009.

Casualties
Cars
In 2009, 146 car occupants were killed in collisions accounting for 61 per cent of
all fatalities, and an additional 7,114 were injured. Seventy-three per cent of car
occupants killed were drivers and 14 percent were front seat passengers. Most of
the car drivers killed were male (71%).
Twenty per cent of car drivers and 10 per cent of front seat car passengers killed
in fatal collisions were not using a seat belt.
Motorcycles
The 25 motorcyclist fatalities that occurred in 2009 accounted for 11 per cent of
all fatalities. An additional 442 motorcyclists were injured.
For a motorcyclist, the risk of dying in a traffic crash per vehicle kilometres
travelled is about 21 times higher than that for a car occupant.
“ The risk of dying

per vehicle
kilometres
travelled is about
21 times higher for

that for a car
occupant.”
Pedalcycles
In 2009, 7 pedalcyclists were killed and 363 were injured in collisions.
Pedalcyclists made up approximately 3 per cent of all fatalities. All the
pedalcyclists killed were male. In 2009, 43 per cent of all the pedal cycle traffic
fatalities reported involved goods vehicle.
Pedestrians
In 2009, 40 pedestrians were killed and 1,075 were injured . Twenty-five per cent
of the pedestrian killed were aged 65 and over. The number of pedestrians killed
in hours of darkness has been reduced by 53 per cent between 2007 and 2009.
Figure A4: Road Deaths by Road User Type, 2005-2009
ix
Gender
Overall, more males were killed in 2009. However, among all casualties
including minor injuries, female car passengers were 1.5 times more likely
to be injured compared with male car passengers.

Primary Collision Type
Thirty-eight per cent of all fatal collisions in 2009 were single vehicle only collisions.
This collision type, which involves no other road user, is most probably associated
with a number of causal factors, including excessive speed, fatigue and/or
alcohol/drug consumption. Single vehicle only collisions accounted for 27 per cent of
injury collisions.
Head-on collisions accounted for 25 per cent of fatal collisions and 12 per cent of
injury collisions. Collisions involving pedestrians accounted for 18 per cent of all fatal
collisions and 16 per cent of all injury collisions.
Four out of 5 fatal collisions were either single vehicle, head-on collision or
pedestrian collisions. This indicates that single vehicle, head-on conflict or
pedestrian collision types are, on average, more severe than angle, rear-end or
‘other’ road collision types, which together accounted for 46 per cent of injury
collisions but only 20 per cent of fatal collisions.

Date and Time
The worst month for fatalities in 2009 was May when 28 people died in 25 collisions.
The month of February recorded the fewest number of collisions, in which 15 persons
died.
The number of fatal collisions between the hours of 9.00 pm and 3.00 am, the hours most
strongly associated with drinking and driving, was 58 in 2009, with 64 people being killed
in these collisions. This period accounted for 26 per cent of fatal collisions and 27 per cent
of fatalities in 2009.
The number of persons killed between 3.00 am and 6.00 am, was 17. Fatalities that
occurred during these hours accounted for approximately 7 per cent of all road collision
fatalities in 2009.
The worst days of the week for fatalities during 2009 were Sunday and Monday. These two
days together accounted for 95 fatalities, or 40 per cent of the total. The day of the week
with the fewest associated fatalities was Thursday, when 18 people, or 8 per cent of the
total, died.
Location
Thirty-four per cent of all fatal collisions in 2009 occurred on urban roads. Forty-one per
cent of serious injury collisions occurred on urban roads.
On a county-by-county basis, Louth experienced the highest number of collisions per
population (2.5 per 1,000 persons) and had the highest number of collisions per 1,000
registered vehicles (4.8 per 1,000 registered vehicles). Louth also experienced the highest
number of collisions per Vehicle Kilometers of Travel (approximately 2.3 per 10 million
Vehicle Kilometers of Travel).

1.2 Trends in Fatalities by Transport Mode
The annual number of fatalities by road transport mode in the period 1999-2009 is given in
Figure 2. The number of car user fatalities increased between1999-2000. After that, the car
user fatalities decreased sharply until 2003. During the period 2003-2006, the number of car
user fatalities has however increased gradually. Between the period 2006-2009, there has
been a steady decline in the number of car user fatalities.
There was a downward trend in the number of pedestrian fatalities in the period 1999-2003.
However, the number of pedestrian fatalities increased in the period 2003-2007. The
downward trend has been maintained in pedal cyclist fatalities over the period 2003-2006,
with a sharp increase in 2007. This number has been reduced by 53 per cent in 2009. The
number of motorcyclist fatalities generally showed an upward trend in the period 1999-2005,
then fell by 48 per cent in 2006, marginally increased in 2007 and returned to the 2006
figure in 2008. The trend for PSV user, goods vehicle user and other road user fatalities
(miscellaneous types of motor vehicles) was sporadic.
Figure 2: Number of Fatalities by Transport Mode, 1999-2009

1.3 Trends in Fatalities by Road Types
In 2009, 198 fatal collisions occurred on two-way single carriageways. Over the
period 1999-2009 there has been a general downward trend in the number of fatal
collisions on two-way single carriageways. There has also been a general downward
trend in the number of fatal collisions on dual carriageways over the period 20012005 and an upward trend in 2005-2007. This trend has now reversed. Over the
period 1999-2009, there has been an up-and-down fluctuation trend in the number of
fatal collisions on motorway and other/unknown road types.
Figure 3: Number of Fatal Collisions By Road Type, 1999- 2009

1.4 Trends in Injury Collisions
Figure 4 shows the time trend in serious injury collisions. The number of serious injury
collisions has been steadily falling since 1995 (exception 2005).
Figure 4: Number of Serious Injury Collisions, 1985-2009
1.5 Material Damage Collisions
The number of material damage collisions (where no injuries or fatalities are
sustained but material damage is caused to vehicle and / or property) both reported
to and recorded by An Garda Siochana decreased from 21,738 in 2008 to 19,880 in
2009.
1.6 Road User Category
Compared to 2007 when the Government’s Road Safety Strategy started there has
been a substantial reduction in all road user categories with highest reduction in
pedalcyclists and pedestrian fatalities (respectively -53% and -51%). The number of
pedestrians killed in hours of darkness has been reduced by 53 per cent between
2007 and 2009.
4
1.7 Vulnerable Road Users
Vulnerable road users are pedestrians, motor cyclists, cyclists, young children (under 14
years) and older people car users (65 years and over);
1 in 3 of those who died on our roads in 2009 were vulnerable road users,
1 in 6 were pedestrians,
1 in 10 were motorcyclists, and
1 in 35 were pedalcyclists.
Sixty-eight per cent of pedestrians were killed inside a built up area. Fifty-six per cent of
motorcyclists were killed on roads with speed limits of more than 60km/h. Twenty- five per
cent of pedestrians killed were aged 65 and over (Figure 5a).
1.8 Young Children Casualties (under 14 years)
Twelve children (14 years of age or younger) were killed on our roads in 2009. Out of
these, 7 were pedestrians, 3 were car passengers and 2 were pedalcyclists .

1.9 Primary Collision Type
Thirty-eight per cent of all fatal collisions in 2009 were single vehicle only collisions.
This collision type, which involves no other road user, is most probably associated
with a number of causal factors, including excessive speed, fatigue and/or
alcohol/drug consumption. Single vehicle only collisions accounted for 27 per cent
of injury collisions.
Head-on collisions accounted for 25 per cent of fatal collisions and 12 per cent of
injury collisions. Collisions involving pedestrians accounted for 18 per cent of all
fatal collisions and 16 per cent of all injury collisions.
Four out of 5 fatal collisions were either single vehicle only, head-on collision or
pedestrian collisions. This indicates that single vehicle only, head-on conflict or
pedestrian collision types are, on average, more severe than angle, rear-end or
‘other’ road collision types, which together accounted for 46 per cent of injury
collisions but only 20 per cent of fatal collisions.

1.10 Contributory Factors to Fatal Road Collisions
The contributory factors listed by members of An Garda Síochána on collision report
forms changed little from 2003 (see Table 17 on page 23). Driver error accounted for
92 per cent of all contributory factors identified in fatal collisions, while the next mostlisted factor, pedestrian error, accounted for 5 per cent. Road factors accounted for 3
per cent of all listed contributory factors. The breakdown of contributory factors to
fatal collisions are shown in Figure 8 below.
Figure 8: Contributory Factors to Fatal Road Collisions

1.11 Contributory Actions to Road Collisions
In two vehicle only fatal collisions - see Figure 9 - the most frequently cited
contributory action is ‘went to the wrong side of the road’ (50 per cent) followed in
turn by ‘exceeded safe speed limit’ (25 per cent), ‘other action’ (16 per cent), ‘drove
through stop / yield sign’ (6 per cent) and ‘improper overtaking’ (3 per cent).
“In single
vehicle fatal
collisions,
25 per cent
exceeded
safe speed
limit.”
1.12 Collision Costs
The cost of collisions was based on those as outlined in the 2004 Goodbody
Economic Consultants report entitled ‘Cost Benefit Parameters and Application Rules
for Transport Project Appraisal’ which was commissioned by the Department of
Transport. Using the updating mechanism as set out in the Goodbody Economic
Consultant’s report which is to inflate the year 2002 cost values to 2009 values, using
the growth in Gross National Product (GNP) per person employed, the estimated cost
of all fatal and injury road collisions reported to and recorded by An Garda Síochána in
2009 was €974 million. This is a decrease in cost of collisions of €229 million when
compared to 2008 figure.

2. Date and Time
2.1 Persons Killed or Injured by Hour of Day
Figures 11 and 12 give the number of fatalities by hour of the day and the day of the
week respectively.
Figure 11: Percentage of Fatal Collisions by Hour in 2009
The highest number of fatalities occurred in the morning and afternoon rush hours
(i.e. 7:00-9:00 and 16:00-18:00).
The number of fatal collisions between the hours of 9.00 pm and 3.00 am, the hours
most strongly associated with drinking and driving, was 58 in 2009, with 64 people
being killed in these collisions. This period accounted for 26 per cent of fatal
collisions and 27 per cent of fatalities in 2009.
The number of persons killed between 3.00 am and 6.00 am, was 17. Fatalities that
occurred during these hours accounted for approximately 7 per cent of all road
collision fatalities in 2009.
11
2.2 The Month of the Year
The worst month for fatalities in 2009 was May when 28 people died in 25 collisions.
The month of February recorded the fewest number of collisions, in which15 persons
died.

2.3 Fatalities by Days of the Week
Figure 12b: Percentage of Fatal Collisions by Days of the Week in 2009
The worst days of the week for fatalities during 2009 were Sunday and Monday.
These two days together accounted for 95 fatalities, or 40 per cent of the total. The
day of the week with the fewest associated fatalities was Thursday, when 18 people,
or 8 per cent of the total, died.

3. Location
3.1 Trends in Fatal Collisions by Rural, Urban and National Route
Thirty-four per cent of all fatal collisions in 2009 occurred on urban roads.Thirty-six
per cent of all fatal collisions occurred on national roads. It should be noted that there
has been reclassifications of some national roads to regional status within 2009.
Some of the fatal collisions registered on national roads in 2009 might have occurred
before or after the reclassification.
