RSA Launches Interactive Map of Road Traffic Collisions Across Ireland

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has launched a new interactive map identifying the locations of road traffic injury collisions across Ireland, making collision data more accessible to the public, researchers and local authorities.

The map contains collision data for fatal, serious and minor injury incidents on public roads between 2016 and 2024. Users can filter results by county, local authority area, year and collision severity, allowing for visual analysis of collision locations nationwide.

The data is sourced from injury collision records collected by An Garda Síochána. The RSA has confirmed the map will be updated annually as new data becomes available.

Sean Canney, Minister of State at the Department of Transport, 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 launch comes against the backdrop of continuing concern over road fatalities in Ireland. The map is accessible via a dedicated banner on the RSA homepage and can be viewed at rsa.ie/road-safety/statistics/collisions.
