ICBC data shows which Richmond roads see the most pedestrian collisions

Nearly 200 crashes on Richmond roads involved a pedestrian in 2018, according to ICBC data.

In 2018, 190 collisions involved a pedestrian, and 71 involved a cyclist, according to the data, which counts the total crashes in one year, including incidents that occurred in parking lots or involving parked vehicles. 

While collisions involving pedestrians increased compared to the 2017 total of 170, collisions involving cyclists decreased from 2017's total of 78. 

Other data, sourced from ICBC's crash maps, which only counts crashes that were on roads — therefore excluding crashes in parking lots or involving parked vehicles — and is based on self-reported information regarding collision location, shows which intersections in Richmond saw the most pedestrian-involved collisions. 

Two intersections — Ackroyd Road at Cooney Road and Granville Avenue at No. 3 Road — saw four pedestrian collisions in 2018. Six other intersections, including, for example, at Alderbridge and Hazlebridge ways, and Blundell Road at Garden City Road, all had three collisions involving pedestrians.  

In total, 83 intersections in 2018 had crashes reported to ICBC that involved a pedestrian, according to the crash map data. 

According to the yearly data, which records all crashes, Richmond had a total of 14,000 crashes that involved property damage only; 3,200 crashes with casualties (which includes injuries or fatalities), and less than five crashes with fatalies. 

Data on fatal crashes is provided to ICBC by police. 

In comparison, 2017 had six crashes in Richmond that resulted in fatalities, while there were 15,000 property damage only crashes and 3,300 casualty crashes (injuries or fatalies). 

Here are some of the locations that saw the most crashes (both casualty and property damage only), and the most collisions involving a pedestrian in 2018, compared to those same locations in 2017, according to the crash maps:
