To improve bicycle safety, crash reports need to capture more data

American researchers are calling upon police in all states to improve their reporting of crashes involving vehicles and bicycles. Currently, details on crashes are handwritten by police on paper and there are few bicycle-relevant codes. The researchers call for police to use electronic tablets with options to gather more bicycle-specific data. Analysis of the data could lead to safer bicycle environments, encouraging more people to cycle.
