The information which is available is given in the following table . This was produced from data about injury road accidents which were reported to the police and then provided to the Scottish Executive using the "Stats 19" statistical returns. The pedestrian casualties counted are those for whom "Pedestrian location" was coded as "on footway or verge". The "Stats 19" returns do not distinguish between pedestrian casualties who were on a footway and those who were on a verge at the time of the accident.
