Page 4 <br /> <br />For primary collision type, broadside collisions continue to be the number one collision type. Hit-object <br />collisions are the second most common. <br />Typically rear-end collisions have held the <br />number two spot. Historically broadside <br />collisions are greater in number. <br />Out of the 282 collisions in the City, <br />approximately 55% involve a second <br />moving vehicle. Vehicles hitting an object or <br />parked car represent 29% of collisions, and <br />about 13% of the collisions have a vehicle <br />involved with a bicycle or pedestrian. <br /> <br /> <br />The highest degree of injury reported in each collision is <br />categorized by five levels (fatal, severe, other visible <br />injury, complaint of pain and property damage only). The <br />percentage of collisions with complaint of pain <br />significantly decreased while other visible injury and <br />property damage only increased when compared to last <br />year. <br /> <br />There were two fatal collisions this year and <br />one last year. Over the past 20 years there <br />have been 22 fatalities which averages <br />approximately one fatality per year (10 <br />vehicle, 5 bicycle and 7 pedestrian). <br />Pedestrians/bicyclists represents just 2% of <br />our roadway users, but account for 55% of <br />all fatalities. This report analyzes pedestrian <br />and bicycle collisions separately to focus on <br />modifications for these vulnerable road <br />users. <br />The percentage of vehicle collisions <br />occurring at night versus day trended to more daytime collisions than last year (71% of all collisions <br />occurring during the day and 29% at night). These figures are very close to the historical average <br />(daytime collisions at 70% and nighttime collisions at 30%) and mirror traffic volumes 6 (daytime traffic <br />volumes are approximately 80% and nighttime 20%). <br /> <br />6 Traffic volumes from 60 signalized intersections were used to calculate a daytime(07:00 - 19:00) and nighttime (19:00 - <br />07:00) percentages <br />111 <br />76 80 <br />17 <br />1 <br />120 <br />38 <br />103 <br />19 <br />2 <br />0 <br />20 <br />40 <br />60 <br />80 <br />100 <br />120 <br />140 <br />Property <br />Damage Only <br />Complaint of <br />Pain <br />Other Visible <br />Injury <br />Severe Injury Fatal <br />DEGREE OF INJURY <br />Last Year Current Year <br />Broadside, <br />29% <br />Hit Object, <br />24% <br />Rear-end, <br />22% <br />Sideswipe, <br />15% <br />Vehicle - <br />Pedestrian, <br />2% <br />Overturned, <br />1% <br />Other, 1%Head-on, 6%Collision Type <br />43% <br />13% <br />36% <br />7% <br />DEGREE OF INJURY <br />Property Damage Only <br />Complaint of Pain <br />Other Visible Injury <br />Severe Injury <br />Fatal
