WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARY
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 1st MARCH 2011
Question
"In the light of forthcoming debates on speed limits and on the North of Town Masterplan, one of whose proposals is the eventual treatment of Bath Street to become a calmed and narrower one way street with wide pavements and trees, and given the current discussions about the future of the roads around the new Town Park and pedestrian and cycling routes, will the Minister inform members of the numbers of accidents on Bath Street as follows:
| Killed | Serious Injury | Minor Injury |
junction Gas Place / Bath Street |
|
|
|
junction Robin Place / Bath Street |
|
|
|
junction Belmont Road / Bath Street |
|
|
|
Bath Street between Gas Place and Robin Place |
|
|
|
Bath Street between Robin Place and Belmont Road |
|
|
|
Can the Minister further give the dates for the fatal and serious injury accidents as follows -
| Gas Place / Bath St. | Robin Place / Bath St. | Belmont Rd. / Bath St. | Bath Street from Gas Place | Bath Street from Robin Place |
| junction | junction | junction | to Robin Pl. | to Belmont Rd. |
Fatal |
|
|
|
|
|
Serious injury |
|
|
|
|
|
Can the Minister give details of what the serious injuries were?" Answer
Transport and Technical Services are provided with a version of the States of Jersey Police road traffic collision data base. The classification of injuries is made by the States of Jersey Police using the same definition as the UK Stats 19 system of road traffic collision reporting. Collisions are classified as non injury, slight injury, serious injury, and fatal, though when reporting killed and seriously injured accidents are often reported together as killed/seriously injured or KSI.
Between 2003 and 2010 the following collisions were reported in the States of Jersey Police road traffic collision data base. No Fatal collisions were recorded in the data base in this location during this period.
| Killed | Serious Injury | Slight Injury |
junction Gas Place / Bath Street | 0 | 1 | 2 |
junction Robin Place / Bath Street | 0 | 0 | 2 |
junction Belmont Road / Bath Street | 0 | 0 | 7 |
Bath Street between Gas Place and Robin Place | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Bath Street between Robin Place and Belmont Road | 0 | 3 | 5 |
The dates of the serious injury accidents were:
| Gas Place / Bath St. | Robin Place / Bath St. | Belmont Rd. / Bath St. | Bath Street from Gas Place | Bath Street from Robin Place |
| junction | junction | junction | to Robin Pl. | to Belmont Rd. |
Fatal | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Serious injury | 16/09/2005 | N/A | N/A | N/A | 2/04/2004 17/05/2004 16/06/2010 |
I am unable to provide details of what the injuries sustained in the collisions were. The road traffic collision data base provided by the States of Jersey Police does not provide details of injuries sustained to the individuals involved in any of the collisions recorded in the data base provided to Transport and Technical Services. STATS19 defines a "serious injury" as an injury for which a person is detained in hospital as an "in-patient" or any of the following injuries whether or not they are detained in hospital: fractures, concussion, internal injuries, crushings, non-friction burns, severe cuts and lacerations, severe general shock requiring medical treatment and injuries causing death 30 or more days after the accident.
