Dear Mr Kent

 

Thank you for your enquiry in which you asked:

 

Is it possible to know how many accidents involving pedestrians and
vehicles have happened over the last 5 years on Wirral roads?

From that information how many occurred at designated road crossings e.g
zebras, traffic lights, lollops etc Is there information on how many
drivers have been prosecuted for traffic offences  following any reported
pedestrians/ vehicle accidents

 

We can advise as follows:

 

Number of pedestrian/vehicle conflicts in latest 5 year period of
31/3/2018 to 30/3/23 is 450 collisions, resulting in 468 pedestrian
casualties.

 

Our database can be interrogated using a parameter input of 'within 50m of
a crossing' but it is unable to provide any further information as the
location of school crossing patrols are not included nor is the type of
crossing able to be electronically extracted.  The locations and types of
crossings would need to be manually entered and cross referenced against
each incident.

 

Of the incident numbers given above, the number of pedestrian collisions
'within 50 metres of a crossing' is 23 collisions in the 5 year period of
31/3/2018 to 30/3/23, resulting in 24 pedestrian casualties.

 

We do not hold any recorded information in relation to prosecutions, you
will need to submit an enquiry to Merseyside Police for this information.

 

Yours sincerely
