Divis Street — mapped section 1: Collision History & Road Safety
A detailed historical investigation using official PSNI injury collision records and mapped DfI road sections, 2013–2025.
Important: these collisions were recorded within 100 metres of the mapped road corridor. They are not all confirmed to have occurred on the named road itself.

Divis Street — mapped section 1 collision history, 2013–2025

Collision severity, casualties and vehicles
People killed and injured
These are individual casualty records associated with the mapped injury collisions in this investigation, from 2013 to 2025.
These figures count people, not collisions. They cover police-recorded incidents within 100 metres of the mapped road sections—not necessarily every collision on the named road. The dates and geographical coverage may differ from published whole-road death tolls.
A fatal collision is a collision classified as fatal; it is not a count of people who died. Casualty and vehicle totals count linked records rather than separate collisions.
Speed cameras and police enforcement
No road-specific enforcement deployment or speed-camera effectiveness figures have been attributed to this road without separately verified evidence.
Explore the Northern Ireland speed camera directory for documented camera locations and enforcement information.
Sources and methodology
Collision, casualty and vehicle records are taken from historical PSNI injury-collision datasets. Road alignment comes from DfI road-network geometry.
The road investigation includes 3 mapped sections and uses a 100-metre geographic proximity calculation. Nearby junctions, slip roads and adjoining streets may contribute records. The figures do not independently establish collision causes or individual responsibility.

What this road investigation can establish
PureCar matches historic PSNI injury collisions to mapped DfI road geometry using a 100-metre radius. Nearby junctions, adjoining roads and slip roads may also fall within that corridor.
Fatal and serious classifications count collisions, not deaths or numbers of people injured. Linked casualties and vehicles are counted separately.
Road-specific police enforcement figures are only reported when independently verified. Where no verified figures exist, no enforcement totals or claims about camera effectiveness are inferred.
What the police collision records tell us
These findings are calculated from the historical PSNI records associated with this mapped road corridor.
236 police-recorded injury collisions were located within 100 metres of the mapped DfI road geometry during 2013–2025.
The 2019–2024 count was 102, compared with 115 in 2013–2018 (-11.3%).
The highest annual count was 25 in 2016; 2025 recorded 19.
Collision severity comprised 2 fatal, 18 serious and 216 slight incidents.
The linked dataset contains 409 casualty records and 446 vehicle records.
What do we know about speed enforcement here?
For this mapped investigation, road-specific police speed-van deployment totals, detection figures and enforcement outcomes have not been independently verified in the underlying research dataset.
That does not establish that enforcement did or did not take place. It means no numerical deployment or camera-effectiveness claim can responsibly be made for this location.

Is this road becoming safer?
The comparison between 2013–2018 and 2019–2024 describes changes in the number of recorded injury collisions near mapped road sections.
It is not a traffic-adjusted risk measure. Traffic volumes, road design, reporting practices, traffic management and other factors may affect the comparison.
These historical records alone cannot establish why collision numbers changed, whether an individual driver was responsible or whether speed enforcement caused a reduction in collisions.
