Ontario Road Safety Annual Report 2004

4. Place of Collision

This section pinpoints the location of collisions in Ontario and provides a breakdown of the various classes of collision by municipality. The location of collisions provides vital information to MTO and local road authorities about the safety of Ontario’s roads and highways. Comparing the number of collisions and injuries within specific municipalities over the years can help to highlight areas where trends in road safety change over time. This information helps MTO and local authorities to prioritize their infrastructure projects.

Changes to the names and boundaries of municipalities due to amalgamation or annexation may mean that the statistics found in Table 4.1 of this section are not necessarily comparable from year to year. Information about fatality or injury rates per capita and population figures by municipality can be found at the Statistics Canada website at www.statscan.ca.

Legend
T = Town TP = Township Other Areas: Jurisdictions with less than 1,500 population and/or experienced amalgamations/annexation, or name change after 1992.
C = City M = Municipality
V = Village

* This number matches the vehicle population in Table 5.5; however, it does not include 19,272 vehicles that are not associated with a county or region in Ontario.

Municipalities that experienced amalgamation, annexation, or name change after 1992 are included in "other areas". Table 4.1 is not comparable to previous years.
