摘要：	Preliminary data is now being released for the UK's road safety performance in 2021. The figures indicate that road casualties showed signs of a return to pre-pandemic trends, increasing compared to 2020 when casualty numbers were low. However, it is worth noting that the low casualty figures for 2020 were largely due to periods of lockdown resulting in a reduction in road traffic. As the first half of 2021 also had a lockdown, the overall figures for 2021 remain lower than pre-pandemic levels. Over the second half of the year, both casualties and traffic returned to levels similar to those in 2019. Monthly changes in casualties during 2021 generally showed a similar trend to changes in motor vehicle traffic levels. There were an estimated 1,558 reported road deaths in 2021, a decrease of 11% from pre-pandemic levels (2019). There was a rate of 5.2 fatalities/ billion vehicle miles in 2021, a higher rate compared with 2019 and a lower rate compared with 2020. Estimates suggest that there were 27,450 people killed or seriously injured (KSI) on UK roads in 2021, a decrease of 1196 compared to 2019. There was a casualty rate of 91 KSIs/billion vehicle miles, a similar rate compared with 2019. There was an estimated 128,209 casualties of all severities in 2021, a decrease of 16% compared to 2019, with 425 casualties/billion vehicle miles, a lower rate compared with 2019.
