Road Safety
The number of road traffic casualties on Lincolnshire's
roads is monitored by the Lincolnshire Road Safety
Partnership and is a key part of their road safety role.
Table 20 below shows the data since 2000
broken down into fatal and serious casualties,
while Figure 35 shows the number of fatal and

Key Points
- Since 2003, when 104 people died on
Lincolnshire roads, there has been a generally
downward trend in the number of fatalities.
- 2017 saw a large rise in the number of
serious casualties, although the overall
number of casualties fell to just under
2,600, the lowest on record.
- 2020 saw a reduction in the overall number of
serious/fatal incidents from the previous three
years, possibly due to the reduction in vehicular
movement seen during the lockdown period.
- Since 2020, the numbers of people killed
or seriously injured on our roads have
gradually decreased.
