Source: Statistics Canada, CANSIM, table Last Modified: Slow Down it s a no brainer A staggering 50% of serious brain injuries in Alberta are due to speed related crashes. Speeding increases the severity of collisions. It s unacceptable that half of all serious brain injuries are due to speed related collisions. Everyone needs to slow down and drive for the road conditions to reduce this tragic statistic. Wayne Drysdale, Minister of Transportation, Government of Alberta April 2,
4 In 2006, Edmonton had the highest rate of Injuries per 1000 population than any Major Canadian City. In 2012, the last year where data is available for comparison cities, Edmonton has seen a significant reduction in injuries, yet remains tied with Toronto with the highest # of injuries per 1000 population Edmonton Police Service 2014 Citizen Survey 4
5 344 THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF PERSONS INJURED ON OUR ROADS EVERY MONTH THE EQUIVALENT OF ~ 10 FULL ETS BUSLOADS OF PASSENGERS Top Collision Cause Follow too close collisions are typically recorded as the top cause of collisions in Edmonton In many of these cases speed is a factor At 50 km/h a driver needs approx. 35 metres to react and brake in time to avoid a collision At 80 km/h /h69 metres is required Many motorists either tailgate or fail to leave enough space between their vehicle and the one in front 5
6 Cost of Collisions The estimated total cost of collisions in the Capital Region is almost $1 billion every year in direct costs and at least that much or more in indirect costs. *Source: Collision Cost Study Traffic Safety Culture Survey Results Figure 1: How many kilometers ABOVE the posted speed limit do you, personally, feelitis is okay to drive?

7 Speed Management Committee Speed Management Plan Speed Management Plan STRATEGY 1: Develop an effective and efficient speed management framework and flowchart process to identify, prioritize and process citizen complaints and speeding hotspots in support of the Speed Stat model. STRATEGY 2: Increase community awareness, knowledge and understanding of the dangers and consequences of exceeding the speed limit. STRATEGY 3: Target for special programs identified through enforcement and other community safety initiatives, drivers who repeatedly and in a dangerous manner violate traffic laws in the City of Edmonton. STRATEGY 4: Ensure speed limits and zones are appropriate and consistent throughout the City of Edmonton. STRATEGY 5: Promote and implement appropriate speed limits in residential areas and areas of high pedestrian and bicyclist activity. STRATEGY 6: Enhance the network of fixed intersection safety cameras at suitable locations. STRATEGY 7: Monitor, research and evaluate developments in road based measures to improve speed related road safety. ft STRATEGY 8: Work with the Edmonton Police Service to support strong Police enforcement operations aimed at deterring speeding. 7

They don t take traffic laws seriously; they don t think the laws apply to them. They don t view their driving behavior as dangerous. They don t expect to get caught. Some or all of the above. 10

Using best practice methodology and data from , the study showed that there were significant reductions in all collision severities and types as described below: Severe collisions (fatal and injury): reduction of 32.1% Property Damage Only collisions: reduction of 28.7% Total collisions: reduction of 27.7% 7% Speed related property damage only collisions: reduction of 27.3% Speed related collisions: reduction of 26.7% Dr. Karim El Basyouny, University of Alberta 29
