From the Department for Transport, Table 361 gives the rate of road traffic accident
casualties by road user type per 1,000,000 population for 2009. The pedestrian
casualty rate is similar to other comparator areas, but the pedal cycle casualty rate is
considerably higher than all comparators. The reasons for this are unclear, but it is
possible that the number of cyclists is higher than many other cities as the city is
relatively flat (anecdotal evidence).

From the Compendium, the directly standardised mortality rate (DSR) for land traffic
accidents (ICD10: V01-V89) for 2006-2008 (Table 362) for Hull is lower than England
for males and females. In relation to comparator areas, Hull‟s mortality rate from land
traffic accidents is slightly higher for males, but the mortality rate for females in Hull is
the lowest of all comparator areas. The number of female deaths is small so it is
possible that this is due to random variation.
