People in London’s poorest areas face higher risk of traffic death or injury – TfL

Figures show need for work to make streets safer, including cutting speed limits, says Transport for London

People living in London’s poorest areas face a far higher risk of suffering traffic-related deaths or serious injury than those in wealthier neighbourhoods, a Transport for London study has found.

TfL said the casualty figures demonstrated the need for continued work to make streets safer as a matter of social justice – including cutting speed limits on more of the roads it manages throughout the capital.
