Page 3 There were five more bicyclist collisions this year (33 compared to 28 last year and 33 for the three-year average). Pedestrian collisions increased by seven, with fifteen compared to eight last year and eleven for the three-year average. Looking back further, the current bicycle and pedestrian numbers are similar to the pre- pandemic rates. We have been tracking electric scooter and electric bicycle collisions. There were five electric scooter collisions and one electric bicycle collision included in the current 33 bicycle collisions. Primary collision factors (by percentage) remained relatively consistent to previous years. Unsafe speed and improper turning are the most common reasons for collisions. The two combine to account for 43% of all collisions. DUI collisions were higher than expected at 13%. This number has averages closer to 10% but was also at 13% in 2020 (pandemic year). Broadside collisions regained the number one spot over run off the road crashes (almost all of the hit object collisions involve a vehicle leaving the roadway). Run off the road collisions (Hit-object) were the number one collision type in both 2020 and 2021. Typically broadside collisions are greater in number. Out of the 276 collisions in the City, approximately 50% involve a second moving vehicle. This percentage has remained around 50% for the last few years (before that it was closer to 60%). This year, colliding with an object or parked car represents 30% of collisions, and about 14% of the collisions have a vehicle involved with a bicycle or pedestrian.
