Chairman’s


Foreword

 

As Chairman of the Road Safety Council (the Council), I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our Annual Report 2018 in this, the Council’s 45th year of operation.

 

Despite tragedies on our roads including the Tai Po bus crash in which 19 people were killed, 2018 was otherwise a relatively successful year in terms of road safety. The number of accidents involving serious injuries and fatalities dropped from 2,174 in 2017 to 1,789 in 2018, which is the lowest figure recorded in Hong Kong since 1959. Although each fatality is a tragedy, Hong Kong continued to enjoy a good record for overall road safety when compared with major cities in other parts of the world. It was another year of concerted effort amongst our members, partners and the community to maintain Hong Kong as one of the world’s safest cities for road users.

 

Based on analysis of traffic accidents during 2017, the five priority areas that formed the focus of our efforts in 2018 were ‘Elderly Pedestrian Safety’, ‘Cycling Safety’, ‘Anti-Drink Driving and Anti-Drug Driving’, ‘Driving Inattentively’ and ‘Student Pedestrian Safety’.

 

For the year ahead, the Council will continue to steer road safety initiatives by using our multi-agency approach, and with reference to best practises in other jurisdictions and to developments in modern technology. We will maintain our overall strategy of Engagement with the community to educate us all about road safety of Engineering safety and technology into our road infrastructure and related processes, and of Enforcing road traffic laws against those who breach them using the ‘Selected Traffic Enforcement Priorities’ policy.

 

Lastly, in addition to those members working within Government on matters connected with road safety, I would like to thank those members of our community from the private sector and other organisations who have given so much of their time and effort in supporting the Council. Without their considerable and public-spirited support, our work would be so much harder. Let’s work together to strive for safer roads for everyone, and to work towards our road safety vision of:


"Zero Accidents on the Road, Hong Kong's Goal!"

 

TANG Ping-keung
Chairperson
Road Safety Council

Elderly Pedestrian Safety

Elderly pedestrians (people aged 65 and above) remained the group within our society who formed the highest proportion of road fatalities. Of the 135 fatalities in 2018, 48 were elderly pedestrians. To raise road safety awareness among the elderly, the Council organised numerous road safety activities, including talent shows, light hearted activities, games and experience sharing, plus the Elderly Pedestrian Road Safety Talent Show 2018-19 organised in partnership with Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).

Cycling Safety

In 2018, the Council continued to employ qualified trainers to deliver cycling safety training courses to students of 33 primary schools and 7 secondary schools. The students were taught how to ride legally and safely, so as to prevent cycling accidents.

Anti-Drink Driving and Anti-Drug Driving

There was an encouraging drop in the number of drink and drug driving related traffic accidents during 2018. The Council continued to raise awareness through promotional banners on flyovers, bus body advertisements, TV and radio APIs (announcements in the public interest), as well as social media, to remind motorists of the tragic impact of drink and drug driving on the community.

Driving Inattentively

As driving inattentively has been the top causation factor for driver related traffic accidents over the years, the Council launched a new series of APIs on television and radio with the theme of “Be a Responsible Road User” to remind drivers to pay attention whilst driving. Research indicates using a mobile phone decreases drivers’ reaction times by around 40%, so don’t do it.

Student Pedestrian Safety

In the past few years, the pedestrian casualty rate for those aged from 10 to 14 was the second highest, after elderly pedestrians. In order to protect our children, the Council continued to promote Student Pedestrian Safety as one of the five main focus areas. Through various publicity campaigns and road safety talks, children, parents, teachers and drivers of school buses were taught how to ensure their safety on/near the roads.

Road Safety


Funding

Funding

The Road Safety Council’s main source of funding is the Government.

Maximising Resources

For the 2018-2019 financial year, the Government allocated HK$4.7 million to the Council for education and publicity programmes, via the Transport and Housing Bureau. Our Road Safety Campaign Committee uses this money for road safety promotional activities and ensures that resources are used appropriately and effectively.

 













Traffic Accident


       Statistics

 

The Council uses an evidence based approach to formulate its programmes and direction making reference to accident trends and common accident contributory factors. To this end, traffic accident statistics and trends are carefully analysed to determine appropriate measures to mitigate and prevent traffic accidents.

2018 Statistics

An analysis of Hong Kong’s traffic accident statistics for 2018 reveals that there were 15,935 traffic accidents in which people were injured, with a total of 19,637 casualties. Compared with the previous year, the number of accidents increased slightly by 1.34% and the number of casualties decreased slightly by 1.26% .

 

While there has not been any significant change in the past decade in the number of traffic accidents involving injuries, there is a downward trend in fatalities. A total of 135 people were killed in traffic accidents in 2018.

 

The Council studies causes and consequences of traffic accidents and maintains a comprehensive traffic accident database to help formulate appropriate road safety strategies. Clearly, pedestrians consistently suffer the highest number of fatalities while private cars are the category involved in the highest number of accident.

Driver Safety Education

Since 2002, drivers who have been convicted of a serious traffic offence or who have accumulated 10 or more Driving-offence Points (DoPs) within two years are required to attend a driving improvement course provided by a designated driving improvement school. The course is also open to eligible drivers.

Elderly Pedestrian Safety Education

The Elderly Pedestrian Road Safety Talent Show 2018-19, co-organised by the Council and RTHK was broadcasted on RTHK 5 from July 2018 to January 2019. The event successfully conveyed road safety messages to elderly people.

 













Publicity

Publicity is part of our strategy of engaging with the community to promote road safety. In 2018, the Council strengthened its existing publicity tools and created new platforms to highlight the most pressing road safety concerns in order to raise the community’s awareness of road safety.

Safe Driving and Health Campaign

In 2018, a wide range of activities were conducted by Transport Department(TD) in the Safe Driving and Health Campaign, which was focusing on five major themes: ‘Safe Driving Attitude and Behaviour’, ‘Respect Other Road Users’, ‘No Drink Driving and Drug Driving’, ‘Maintain Good Health Conditions’ and ‘Mutual Respect between Drivers and Passengers’ . There included disseminating safe driving and health messages through radio broadcasts and other publicity channels, and the provision of free health checks to commercial vehicle drivers.

Targeted Safety Messages

The broadcast of road safety messages on various media platforms is an important and effective tool to convey road safety messages to the general community. The Council will continue to explore the use of social media and other media to extend the reach of road safety messages.

 













Road Safety


Measures

Road Safety Check for Existing Roads

Since 2007, Highways Department (HyD) and Transport Department (TD) have been jointly conducting Road Safety Check on existing roads with speed limit of 70km/h or above to enhance road safety performance. To further enhance the safety condition of existing roads, HyD and TD embarked on a consultancy study in May 2018 to review and identify the potential roadside safety hazards of all public roads in Hong Kong through comprehensive and systematic safety check.

 

The consultants will formulate the strategy for taking forward enhancement measures to address the potential roadside safety hazards, including the priority for implementation of such measures, with respect to a number of factors including prevailing traffic conditions and site constraints of the concerned locations, etc. HyD and TD will review the consultants' findings and implement the enhancement measures progressively through various works projects.

 

The consultants will also research on the latest overseas development and technologies and investigate whether such technologies are suitable for application locally to address the potential roadside safety hazards through conducting trials at suitable locations.

The Way


Forward

 

There can only be progress when there is optimism about the future and it is the vision of ‘Zero Accidents on the Road, Hong Kong’s Goal’ that drives the Road Safety Council towards realising its worthwhile objective. The Council will continue to steer road safety initiatives and maintain our overall strategy of Engagement with the community to educate us all about road safety; of Engineering safety and technology into our road infrastructure and related processes, and of Enforcing road traffic laws against those who breach them using the ‘Selected Traffic Enforcement Priorities’ policy.

 

Be a Responsible Road User

Research on traffic accidents indicates that the majority of accidents involve human factors. We will therefore continue to focus on publicity and education to foster change in road user behaviour. The major push of these campaigns will focus on the “Be a Responsible Road User” theme, driving home the message that simply being aware of road safety is not enough. Road users must follow through — staying alert, remaining courteous and considerate, and obeying the law at all times.


The Transport Department, the Education Bureau and Police will continue to disseminate road safety messages through newsletters, seminars, workshops and school curriculum.

Innovation and Technology

Meeting the development in the innovation and technology industry, we will explore different innovative concepts and technologies which were applicable to enhancing road safety in Hong Kong. This includes vehicle status and performance system, collision avoidance system and automated enforcement.

Focused Action on Target Groups

We will focus special action at targeted groups, building on campaigns which have proven to have a high impact in the past. Identifying the more vulnerable road user groups, enables us to align our information and focus on their special needs.

Improved Engineering and Legislation

Ongoing efforts on target items of pedestrian safety, vehicle safety, smart infrastructure and road safety continue unabated. Various new initiatives such as intelligent signal system and automatic incident detection system will be studied to drive our objectives forward.

Looking Ahead

Despite our very best efforts, road safety is something that cannot be practised in isolation. We therefore call upon every single individual in the community to take responsibility for, and work with the Road Safety Council, in creating a safer Hong Kong. By doing so, we not only contribute to the well-being of the community but also create a quality future for our children.
