Northern Ireland Road Traffic Collision Data, 2002: Open Access

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><i>Northern Ireland Police Recorded Injury Road Traffic Collision Data</i> (prior to 2010 known as the <i>Northern Ireland Road Traffic Collision Data</i>) are derived from information recorded by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in relation to collisions reported to them. The information is captured on a collision report form (CRF) and while there are slight differences between this form and the Department for Transport’s STATS19 form (used in England, Scotland and Wales), the vast majority of the information sought is the same.

The main aim of collecting and publishing road traffic collision statistics in Northern Ireland is to provide a basis for assisting the police and government to determine and monitor effective road safety policies to reduce the number of people killed and injured on the roads.<br> <br> Users should note that the data collection form changed format on 1st April 2007. Further information is available in the documentation.
