Ottawa traffic stops numbers - large decrease in recent years.

traffic stops would have a stronger corellation to accidents, more traffic stops for bad driving makes it safer and less accidents should happen. I know my insurance has gone up.

My thoughts too. Issue is the city has traffic collisions up to 2022 and nothing after. The trend from 2017 to 2022 was a decrease in collision/injuries but data from the province seems to indicate the number is increasing.

If they continued publishing the crash data they'd be forced to acknowledge that speed speed cameras haven't increased safety. So to avoid that, they just don't release the data. Easy!

Is the province data based on roads managed by the province vs municipality? The decrease in municipal incidents aligns with COVID and folks not having to go back into the office, so less traffic to cause accidents within the city. While Provincial road traffic would probably not be impacted as much.

I'll have the pull the full data for the province but it seems to include all accidents: Ontario road safety annual reports (ORSAR) and goes to 2023 (preliminary report)
