The line graph illustrates the number of
road fatalities for drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and
bicyclists between 1980 and 2012.
Overall, the number of fatalities for all
road users decreased drastically despite the roads for drivers was having the
dominant number of fatalities. It is interesting to note that the fatalities
for motorcyclists overtook the number of fatalities for pedestrians and
passengers by 12 years of projected periods.
Initially, the dominant number of just over
1,200 fatalities was recorded by drivers, whereas the rest of roads recorded
for 800, 620, 410 and 100 fatalities for passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists
and bicyclists, respectively. All those fatalities decreased substantially
despite the periodic fluctuations for the first decade, the drivers remained
its dominancy to reach at about 800 fatalities and passengers experienced of
about half of those fatalities of below 400. Same fatalities number recorded
for pedestrians and motorcyclists of approximately 210.
The fatalities for motorcyclists increased slightly
from 2002 where it overtook the number of pedestrians’ fatality to record at
over 210 and continued with this number to overtake the passenger’s fatalities
to close to 210. The number of pedestrians and passengers’ fatalities ended at
below 200 and close to 200, respectively and which declining trends were same
for driver’s fatalities to end at below 600. In comparison for all those
fluctuations and huge declining trends, the fatalities for bicyclists reduced
to 50 in 1992 and remained constant until the end. |
