The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has announced the launch of a new interactive map that identifies the locations of road traffic injury collisions across Ireland.
The interactive map contains data on fatal, serious and minor injury collisions that occurred on public roads between 2016 and 2024. Users will be able to filter information by county, local authority area, year, and collision severity via a user-friendly map, enabling visual analysis of road traffic collision locations nationwide.
The data displayed on the map is based on injury collision information collected by An Garda Síochána. The RSA will update the map annually as new data becomes available.
Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Sean Canney, said: “This new interactive collision map will provide communities, researchers and local authorities with valuable information about where road traffic injury collisions are occurring across the country. Access to reliable location data is essential in helping us better understand collision trends and identify areas where further road safety measures may be required. Ultimately, this resource will support evidence-based decision making as we continue working to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads.”
Michael Rowland, Director of the RSA, said: “The RSA has a statutory remit to report on fatal, serious and minor injury collisions on public roads. This new map represents an important step in making collision location data more accessible and transparent for the public and stakeholders. It will be a valuable tool for researchers, road safety advocates and local authorities.”
The RSA receives collision data from An Garda Síochána and produces official statistics to support the development of evidence-based road safety interventions.
The publication of the map comes amid ongoing concern over road fatalities.
The map is live on the RSA website and can be accessed by clicking here.
