Green councillors are calling for safer roads in Bristol as over 100 people are seriously injured in crashes each year. Government figures show that over the past decade 75 people were killed on roads in Bristol.
And between 2017 and 2021, 36 people were killed and 636 seriously injured by vehicle collisions in Bristol, according to the Department for Transport. That’s an average of 134 people killed or seriously injured each year.
Reducing the number of road deaths will be debated by councillors at Bristol City Council today (July 11). The Greens have put forward a motion calling for the council to adopt a target of zero road deaths by 2030.
