Road traffic collisions involving cyclists (FOI)

Road traffic collisions involving cyclists (FOI)

Produced by the Freedom of Information office
Authored by Government of Jersey and published on 21 January 2022.
Prepared internally, no external costs.

Request

With reference to the following Freedom of Information request: Road traffic collisions involving cyclists (FOI)

I should be grateful if you would provide us with complete 2021 figures, as soon as they are available.

In addition, is it possible for you to provide clarification on "other actions by cyclist" as a contributor factor? It is the biggest contributor factor for road traffic collisions involving cyclists in Jersey, however, it does seem a little bit vague when compared to other contributory factors. Essentially, we would like some clarification on this contributory factor so we can raise awareness for road users.
