New figures have revealed 155 people were killed in collisions in the country in 2023, 16 fewer than the year before.
Meanwhile Glasgow’s deaths doubled from seven in 2022 to 14 in 2023, triggering safety improvements being carried out in the city.
Days later two women were hit by carson St Vincent Street, just metres away from each other on the same night. Now Transport Scotland has reported that Scotland is experiencing historic low levels of road deaths, with the number of fatalities last year being the fourth lowest on record. However, there was an increase of six percent in car casualties and an increase of three percent in pedestrian casualties.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport Fiona Hyslop said: “While the drop in the number of fatalities on our roads is welcome, we must never forget that behind every one of these statistics is a person or a household that has been changed forever.
