3 Executive Offices th Avenue Tel: (306) Regina, Saskatchewan Fax: (306) CANADA S4P 0J9 Letter of Transmittal March 2010 To: Saskatchewan s Traffic Safety Community I am pleased to present to you the Saskatchewan Traffic Accident Facts report for Much of the information in this report comes from SGI's Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS), our database on motor vehicle crashes. This publication is made possible through the dedicated and invaluable efforts of law enforcement officers throughout Saskatchewan and SGI's team of claims adjusters. Their complete and reliable reporting of motor vehicle crashes greatly enhances the integrity of this report. Too many people continue to be injured and killed on Saskatchewan roads as a result of traffic collisions. To address this challenge, SGI remains committed to partnering with the traffic safety community to help improve road safety in Saskatchewan. We hope the information contained in this report will assist you in making informed decisions regarding the road safety issues impacting our province. Please do not hesitate to contact SGI should you need any additional information. Yours truly, Kwei Quaye Assistant Vice President Traffic Safety Services

4 2008 Summary The total number of traffic collisions in Saskatchewan is up four per cent from 49,523 in 2007 to 51,698 in The number of fatal collisions increased five per cent over the past year from 126 in 2007 to 132 in The number of personal injury collisions increased two per cent over the past year from 5,017 in 2007 to 5,137 in The highest number of fatal collisions occurred in August, while the highest number of injury collisions occurred in October. Friday was the most collision-prone day of the week. The most collision-prone period of time was the afternoon rush hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Collision rates were highest among drivers between the ages of 16 and 25. Driver inattention, distraction, drinking, impairment and inexperience/confusion were the most frequently identified human condition factors contributing to casualty collisions in Saskatchewan in Twenty-two per cent of fatal collisions and 55 per cent of personal injury collisions occurred at intersections. Collision rates (per million vehicle km) on rural roads are 1.6 times higher than on provincial highways. Thirty-six per cent of pedestrians or cyclists killed in traffic collisions in 2008 had consumed alcohol prior to the collisions. Forty-three per cent of fatal collisions and ten per cent of injury collisions involved a drinking driver. Vehicle occupants who did not buckle up were 12 times more likely to be killed than those who wore a seatbelt.

5 Rolling billboards SGI and the Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) rolled out important safety messages for drivers literally. This innovative rolling billboard concept promotes two key safety messages on the sides of a 53-foot semi-trailer. The trailer will be travelling down many Saskatchewan roads and highways during STA truck driver training courses.

6 Preface Preface The Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS) compiles information on traffic collisions occurring on Saskatchewan roads. Collisions involving bodily injury or death, a hit and run, an out-of-province vehicle, an unregistered vehicle, an impaired operator and collisions where vehicles have to be towed are reported through police agencies. A Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) form is completed in accordance with Section 253 of The Traffic Safety Act and forwarded to Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). Information on all other types of collisions is collected through SGI s claims reporting process. Both data sources are combined to create TAIS. The collision database and its publications are administered by SGI. TAIS provides comprehensive collision data to many agencies for the design and evaluation of traffic safety programs. The importance of accurate and timely collision data is evident by such initiatives as Transport Canada s Road Safety Vision This is a national initiative to make Canada s roads the safest in the world. The strategic objectives of the plan are to raise public awareness of road safety issues; improve communication, co-operation and collaboration among road safety agencies; enhance enforcement measures and improve national road safety data quality and collection. The collection of traffic collision information is made possible by the efforts and dedication of police officers and SGI staff who investigate, report and record the information on TAIS Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts i

12 Historical Trends SECTION 1 Historical Trends This section illustrates the 25-year history of collisions, victims, licensed drivers and vehicles. Reporting definitions must be considered when looking at past trends. Changes to the reporting thresholds have resulted in large declines in property damage only (PDO) collisions during the years 1984 and The continued reduction in police resources available for traffic enforcement has also had an effect on the number of PDO collisions being reported. This is especially true for the reporting of wildlife collisions since The traffic accident reporting system was streamlined on Aug. 1, 2002, so that only collisions involving bodily injury, death, a hit and run, an out-of-province vehicle, an unregistered vehicle, an impaired operator and collisions where vehicles have to be towed are reported to the police. Information on all other types of collisions that meet the reporting criteria for our traffic accident system are collected through SGI s claims reporting process. This change has freed up valuable enforcement resources that can be devoted to other high-priority issues. The increase in the total number of collisions can be mainly attributed to the change in collision reporting procedures implemented in August This change resulted in a 49.5 per cent increase in the number of PDO collisions captured by TAIS from 2003 to date as compared to the previous three-year average. Trends in crashes resulting in fatalities and injuries have shown a steady decline since Fatal crashes peaked in 1986, while injury crashes peaked in The five-year averages for fatal and injury crashes are now 124 and 5,226, respectively, compared to 191 and 5,769 between 1983 and All collisions showed an upward trend from 2002 due to the change in reporting threshold. Data for recent years exhibit a fairly steady count of total collisions in the province. Vehicle counts and the number of licensed drivers have been increasing since A complete listing of all the numbers used in the charts and changes in definitions are in Appendices A1.1 to A Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

20 Time of Occurrence SECTION 2 Time of Occurrence Figures 2.1 to 2.3 show the frequency of 2008 traffic collisions, injuries and deaths compared to a three-year average. It is not unusual to see more fluctuations in the monthly averages in the smaller numbers, such as deaths, than the larger numbers of total collisions. Figures 2.4 and 2.5 show the collision ratio of travel versus collisions on provincial highways. The risk of being involved in a highway collision is highest between the hours of 3 and 4 a.m. Table 2.2 shows the number of collisions on public holidays and long weekends throughout the year, as well as on other specific periods of interest. Table 2.3 shows the number of collisions occurring by day of week and hour of occurrence on all road systems. The highest frequency of traffic collisions during 2008 occurred Friday afternoons between the hours of 4 and 5 p.m Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

24 Major Contributing Factors SECTION 3 Major Contributing Factors Contributing factors are those circumstances or factors that have directly contributed to the collision or its severity. TAIS recognizes that a collision usually results from many causal factors. The collision data system accepts up to four contributing factors for each vehicle involved in a collision. Factors can be selected from four categories: human condition, human action, vehicle condition or driving environment. In traffic collisions reported by police agencies, the causal factors are assigned by the investigating officer. Incidents reported through SGI s Dial-A-Claim are assigned causal factors only if they are clearly identified in the drivers statements. The causal factors in property damage only collisions are therefore much more subjective in nature and not directly comparable to previous years and casualty collisions. This section summarizes all contributing factors that were reported. In 2008, a total of 66,005 factors contributed to 51,698 collisions. The numbers in these figures represent the number of occurrences of each factor. Driver inattention and driver distraction account for 24.2 per cent of all factors reported. SGI is aware of this fact and continues to work with a number of organizations to develop education and awareness programs to address this problem. Figure 3.1 shows that human condition is a more prevalent factor in fatal collisions (52.8%) than in all collisions (31.1%). Human condition and human action account for 58 per cent of all factors in collisions, as compared to 90 per cent of factors in fatal crashes. Figure 3.2 summarizes the factors by road system. Eighty per cent of urban collisions are attributed to human factors, while environmental conditions, mainly animal actions, are more prevalent in rural and highway collisions (71%).

32 Environmental Factors SECTION 4 Environmental Factors The driving environment consists of road, light and weather conditions, as well as events leading up to and during a collision. It is important to understand all of these factors to properly design effective countermeasures for reducing collisions. This section provides a breakdown of collisions for each of the different driving environments by severity and road system. Tables 4.1 to 4.3 and Table 4.8 show that most collisions occur under near ideal conditions, such as a dry surface (47%), clear weather (30%), daylight (47%) and on a straight/level stretch of road (37%). These numbers are higher than actually reported due to the fact that in many cases a condition is reported only if it was a factor in the collision. This is evident by the 61 per cent of collisions where a weather condition is not stated. Tables 4.6 and 4.7 provide a breakdown of the types of collisions by single and multiple vehicle configurations. Single vehicle collisions account for 92 per cent of the collisions on rural roads, 87 per cent on provincial highways and 14 per cent on urban streets. Table 4.9 and 4.10 describe some of the events that occur in collisions, such as hitting a fixed or movable object, overturning or jackknifing Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

40 Driver Factors SECTION 5 Driver Factors Driver factors captured for collisions include the driverʼs age and gender, traffic charges laid, human action contributing to the collision and the driverʼs licence class. The information gathered for drivers shows several indicators that help predict an individualʼs likelihood of causing a collision. These indicators are used to identify characteristics of those drivers who are more likely to cause collisions, and to address the behaviours that increase their risk of collision. Driver Improvement Program SGI's Driver Improvement Program monitors the driving records of all Saskatchewan drivers and intervenes when an individual's record warrants it. The purpose of the program is to encourage drivers that are incurring convictions, or are involved in at-fault collisions, to develop and maintain safe driving habits. SGI uses a demerit system for tracking driver performance. SGI sends warning letters advising drivers of their deteriorating driving records. Drivers who, in spite of a warning, incur additional convictions or at-fault collisions are required to attend a Traffic Safety Workshop or an interview with an SGI driver examiner. Further convictions or at-fault collisions may result in the driver being required to a take a road test, a defensive driving course or Driver Improvement Training. Subsequent convictions or at-fault collisions may result in licence restrictions or suspensions. Graduated Driver s Licensing Program The Graduated Driverʼs Licensing program was implemented in September It was designed to improve road safety by exposing new drivers to incremental levels of risk as they gain more experience in the driving environment. There are three stages in the program: a nine-month Learner stage, a six-month Novice 1 stage and a 12-month Novice 2 stage. Program restrictions relax as drivers advance through these stages. Drivers in the Novice 2 stage must remain free of at-fault collisions, traffic convictions and suspensions in order to graduate to a full licence. Saskatchewan has a zero alcohol tolerance level for new drivers. An evaluation on the initial effects of the program was undertaken during the first cycle of the program. Results indicate that GDL drivers of all ages had an 18 per cent reduction in at-fault crash risk. Program restrictions also appear to have a positive effect in reducing at-fault collisions specifically among young drivers. Particularly, nighttime crash risk was reduced by 52 per cent after the implementation of the program Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

52 Vehicle Factors SECTION 6 Vehicle Factors There were 81,137 vehicles involved in the 51,698 collisions during This is an average of 1.56 vehicles per collision. This section provides details on the different types of vehicles involved in collisions. Passenger cars accounted for 47 per cent of vehicles in all collisions and 31 per cent of the vehicles in fatal collisions. Pickup trucks accounted for 21 per cent of vehicles in all collisions and 27 per cent of vehicles in fatal collisions. Large trucks represented three per cent of vehicles involved in all collisions and nine per cent of vehicles in a fatal collision during Research has shown that in 78 per cent of fatal crashes involving a large truck, the action taken by the driver of the other vehicle was the major factor contributing to the collision. There were 425 crashes involving a motorcycle in These incidents resulted in 203 injuries and five deaths. Tables 6.6 to 6.8 show some historical data on truck and motorcycle collisions.

58 Victims and Safety Restraints SECTION 7 Victims and Safety Restraints TAIS captures information on all passengers involved in injury collisions. This data can be used to calculate exposure rates for occupants by injury severity, age, seating position, gender and many other variables. Additional details, such as injury region of the body and injury treatment, are also available from TAIS. Figure 7.3 shows the relationship between the severity of injury to vehicle occupants and seatbelt use. The severity of injury is much lower for victims using safety restraints. Ninety-four per cent of those using safety restraints sustained minor, moderate or no recorded injuries. Those occupants not using safety restraints were severely or fatally injured 26 per cent of the time, compared to six per cent of the time for those using restraints. In September 2004, Transport Canada began conducting observational surveys of seatbelt use, alternating annually between rural and urban communities across Canada. The survey method was changed because of evidence indicating a lower usage rate in rural areas. The new usage rates are a combination of these urban and rural observations. The survey results for report a national average of 92.5 per cent and a rate of 93.5 per cent in Saskatchewan. No data was available for The complete results of the Canadian survey can be referenced in table 12.2 on page Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

78 Alcohol SECTION 10 Alcohol Drinking and driving remains the number one contributing factor in fatal collisions in Saskatchewan. SGI continues to work on solutions to help resolve this important traffic safety issue. There are serious consequences for drinking and driving. Driver licence suspension periods apply if a driver is convicted of driving with a blood alcohol level over.08, impaired driving or failure to provide a breath sample. In Saskatchewan, the first conviction of any of the above offences will result in a driverʼs licence suspension for a period of one year. A second offence results in a three-year licence suspension and any subsequent offence results in a five-year licence suspension. Fines for these offences start at $600, with no maximum. If a driver is at fault for a collision while driving impaired, they have no insurance coverage for damage to their vehicle or to the vehicles or property of others involved. Before a driverʼs licence can be reinstated, the driver must attend a mandatory addiction screening and assessment, and complete any education or recovery program recommended by their addictions counsellor. Drinking and driving offenders who have successfully completed their required addiction screening and all education or recovery programs may be eligible to participate in the Ignition Interlock Program. Administrative Sanctions New drivers who consume any amount of alcohol and drive receive a 30-day suspension and must attend a Driving Without Impairment (DWI) course for the first occurrence. Subsequent occurrences result in a 90-day suspension, mandatory addictions screening and an education or recovery program recommended by a drug and alcohol counsellor. These all must be completed before the driverʼs licence will be reinstated. Experienced drivers with a blood alcohol level over.04 receive a 24-hour driverʼs licence suspension. A second 24-hour suspension is extended to a 15-day driverʼs licence suspension. The driver is also required to attend a DWI course if a second 24-hour suspension is incurred. Subsequent occurrences result in a 90-day suspension, addictions screening and a recommended education or recovery program. All drivers who are charged with a blood alcohol level exceeding.08 or refusing a breath test will be subject to a 90-day suspension. The individual receives an immediate 24-hour suspension and seven-day driving permit if the driver has a valid driverʼs licence. The 90-day administrative suspension begins after the expiry of the seven-day driving permit. Police now have a new tool for detecting impairment. The Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) is a series of tests that detect if a driver is impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. Failing or refusing to take the SFST results in an immediate 24-hour driverʼs licence suspension Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

126 Other Provinces SECTION 12 Other Provinces A new vision for improving road safety in Canada was approved by the Council of Ministers Responsible for Highway and Transportation Safety in Canada s Road Safety Vision (RSV) 2010 is a national undertaking, under the auspices of the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), to make Canada s roads the safest in the world. It emphasizes a range of initiatives that focus on road users, roadways and motor vehicles. The goals of RSV 2010 are to: raise public awareness of road safety issues improve communication, cooperation and collaboration among safety agencies enhance enforcement measures improve national collision data quality and collection The national target for RSV 2010 calls for a decrease of 30 per cent in the average number of road users killed or seriously injured during the years compared to A number of sub-targets have also been established to help achieve this 30 per cent decrease in casualties. They include an increase in the proper use of seatbelts and child restraint systems. Sub-targets have also been established for the reduction of casualties resulting from the non-use of restraint systems, drinking and driving, speedand intersection-related crashes, high-risk driver behaviours, casualties on rural roads and crashes involving young drivers, riders and commercial carriers. The initiatives outlined in RSV 2010 provide a roadmap for identifying and dealing with the key road safety issues facing the different Canadian jurisdictions. Saskatchewan and the other Canadian jurisdictions are committed to the objectives of RSV 2010 and are working on implementing the relevant road safety initiatives to help meet the national targets. A National Collision Database (NCDB) has been set up and is maintained by Transport Canada for collision analysis and the monitoring of these targets. A complete listing of targets and the action plan of RSV 2010 are available from Transport Canada.

141 Glossary Glossary Police-Reported Motor Vehicle Collision Motor Vehicle Collision Captured By Claims Incident Motor Vehicle In Transport Public Roadway Snowmobiles and Off-Roadway Vehicles Police agencies are required to investigate and complete a motor vehicle collision report for all collisions that involve bodily injury or death, a hit and run, an out-of-province or unregistered vehicle, an impaired driver (by alcohol or drugs) and collisions where a motor vehicle must be towed from the scene. An incident that has not been reported by police that involves one or more motor vehicles in transport, and results in personal injury or a minimum of $1,000 in property damage, not including damage to cargo. Any set of motor vehicle events, not under human control, that includes at least one occurrence of injury or damage. It originates when human control of the vehicle is lost and terminates when control is regained, or, in the absence of persons who are able to regain control, when all persons and property are at rest. This excludes events that are the result of deliberate intent, legal intervention or natural disasters. For example, if a vehicle catches fire due to mechanical failure and the driver is able to stop safely, a motor vehicle collision did not occur because control of the vehicle was never lost. Any motorized mechanically or electrically powered land vehicle not operated on rails. Collisions that involve only construction or maintenance equipment within the right of way are not reportable on TAIS. A vehicle that is "in motion or being operated" on a roadway; this includes harm to property that reduces the monetary value of that property. It includes harm to animals that have monetary value. It excludes mechanical failure during normal operation, such as a tire blowout. Any highway, secondary road, rural road, street, avenue, parkway, lane, alley or bridge designed and intended for, or used by, the general public for the passage of motor vehicles. This includes sidewalks, boulevards and the immediate right of way adjacent to and parallel with the roadway. It does not include privately maintained roads, driveways or parking lots. Collisions involving snowmobiles and off-roadway vehicles that occur within the right-of-way of a public roadway are recorded as part of that roadway. If they occur outside of the right of way, they are on private property. Road Authority The jurisdiction responsible for the general maintenance and traffic safety of the road Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts 131

142 Glossary Urban Streets Any street, lane or back alley within the incorporated limits of a city, town, village or hamlet, except those streets recorded as a numbered highway. Street: Any public road of an urban street system under the maintenance or jurisdiction of the municipal government. In the case where a road is maintained by a municipal government and would more easily be coded as a numbered highway, exceptions may be made. Lane/Back Alley: Any alley or lane within an urban area intended for use by the public and maintained by the local government. Provincial Highways Any rural/urban highway, provincial road, community access or service road, or other highway as described below. Rural/Urban Highway: Any numbered provincial highway in a rural or urban area with a population less than 1,000 that is maintained by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, and any roadways within urban limits that the police have been permitted to code as a highway for convenience (see street definitions). Provincial Roads (900 series highways): Any public highway with a highway number greater than 900. Community Access, Service Road/Other: Roads built and maintained by Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure providing access to communities, industrial plants and/or land parcels. Rural Roads Any designated grid, municipal or other road as defined below. Designated Grid Road: A municipal road designated as a municipal grid or main farm access road on the Saskatchewan Municipal Road Inventory Maps and posted with customary grid road signs. Collisions on grid roads going through First Nations are coded to the First Nations (code 09). Municipal/Other Rural Road: Any rural municipal road not designated as a grid road. These will include trails, bladed and non-bladed roads, and local streets in unorganized hamlets. Collisions on municipal roads going through First Nations are coded to the First Nations (code 09). Other Roads Any location not identified under urban, highway or rural road locations. First Nation Grid or Municipal Road: Any public road within a First Nation boundary, other than a provincial highway, serving as an access or internal road for a First Nation. Northern Forest Road: Roads in forested areas built and maintained with the primary intent of providing access to forestry operations Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts

143 Glossary Federal/Provincial Lands: Any road other than a numbered provincial highway serving as a public access or internal road to federal or provincial land, such as parks, federal community pastures, etc. Not Known: This code is intended for use only when a general location is definitely not known. Private Property Property Damage Only Collisions Injury Collisions Fatal Collisions Impaired Had Been Drinking Major Contributing Factors Privately-owned property, both in rural and urban areas, such as parking lots, parkades, farmyards, private roads, driveways, service station lots, etc. Collisions coded to this Road Authority are not recorded on TAIS. A motor vehicle collision resulting in total damages over the prescribed amount as defined in The Traffic Safety Act ($1,000) with no personal injuries or deaths. A motor vehicle collision resulting in a non-fatal injury to one or more persons. An injury is defined as any bodily harm resulting from the collision. A motor vehicle collision resulting in death within 30 days to one or more involved persons. A person with a blood alcohol content exceeding the legal limit. A person that had consumed alcohol but has a blood alcohol content less than the legal limit. Contributing factors are those circumstances or factors that have directly contributed to the collision or its severity. TAIS recognizes that a collision usually results from many causal factors. The collision data system accepts up to four contributing factors for each vehicle involved in a collision. Factors can be selected from four categories: human condition, human action, vehicle condition or driving environment. Due to differences in reporting definitions, the numbers of collisions and associated casualties published in this report do not necessarily reflect the collision and injury claims experience of the Saskatchewan Auto Fund. Traffic collisions are reported in the Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS) only when the estimated repair costs for all vehicles exceed $1,000 or when personal injuries are sustained, whereas a collision claim may occur for any amount of property damage over the applicable deductible. Private property and parking lot collisions, as well as deliberate acts of vandalism or natural causes, are also not recorded in TAIS. The information presented in this publication reflects all police and insurance claim reports known to SGI as of November Since the TAIS is updated on a continual basis, information in future publications may vary from what is published in this report Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Accident Facts 133

144 Seatbelt Challenge The Seatbelt Challenge is a community-driven project designed to improve seatbelt use in rural Saskatchewan. Communities are challenged to see which can increase their seatbelt use the most. Minister June Draude awarded this year s winners, Muscowpetung First Nation and Wadena, each a $50,000 cheque that will be used for traffic safety improvements in their community.

145 Heads-Up SGI partnered with Saskatoon community leaders on a new initiative called Heads Up. This targeted media campaign increased the awareness of pedestrian safety in Saskatoon by re-enforcing basic safety rules.
