Road safety statistics for Bromley
Bromley has a good road safety record and reducing casualties remains central to Bromley’s transport priorities. These are set out in our Local Implementation Plan, with a focus on reducing casualties killed or seriously injured (KSI) on the borough’s roads.
The council has a good record of improving road safety and has focused its efforts in recent years on reducing the numbers of those killed and seriously injured through a programme of treating priority collision hot spots and delivering a road safety education programme. Looking at comparative data for the 2019 to 2023 five-year average for the London boroughs, compared to baseline data, Bromley saw the largest decrease in KSIs - a 48 per cent decrease.
As London’s largest borough, with most miles of road, it is helpful to look at casualty rates in the context of road length and number of journeys. Casualty data for 2024 has not been published at the time of this study, but 2023 data shows that Bromley has one of the lower casualty rates in London, with 140 KSI per billion vehicle miles, which is the tenth lowest in London.
However, the council is not complacent and is continuing to invest in actions to further reduce road casualties as part of a continued long term downward trend.
