Vulnerable road users are pedestrians, cyclists, and active transportation users in our City.  

Collisions in this focus area have a high chance of resulting in a major injury or fatality. In a review of collision data for a study period between 2015 and 2019, 15% of injury/fatal collisions involved pedestrians or cyclists. 

Aggressive Driving includes driving behaviours that include speeding, stunting, or driving carelessly. This often results in drivers exceeding the speed limit, disobeying traffic controls, or failing to safely yield.  

In a five-year review of collision data between 2015 and 2019, 65% of injury/fatal collisions had aggressive driving as a factor.   

Intersection collisions include both signalized and unsignalized intersections that result from right angle, rear end, or left turn collisions.  

In a five-year review of collision data between 2015 and 2019, 85% of injury/fatal collisions occurred at an intersection. Most fatal and injury collisions reported in Regina appear to have occurred at intersections.  

Impaired driving collisions involve those who have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Other human behaviours, such as extreme fatigue or drowsiness are also contributing factors to this focus area.   

In a five-year review of collision data between 2015 and 2019, 6% of injury/fatal collisions had driving under the influence as a factor. 

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of injury and fatalities on Canadian roads. Human behaviours resulting in inattentiveness or distractions can include the use of mobile devices, consuming food while driving, or completing an action that takes your attention away from the road. 

In a five-year review of collision data between 2015-2019, 11% of injury/fatal collisions had distracted driving as a factor. It is also likely that distracted driving can be underreported as a contributing factor to collisions on our roadways.
