Police have issued a fresh road safety appeal as new figures show that 16 people have already lost their lives on Northern Ireland's roads this year.Eight of those killed in road traffic collisions on Northern Ireland's roads to date in 2023 were pedestrians.In a new appeal on Friday, Chief Superintendent Sam Donaldson said: “Tragically, 16 people have already lost their lives on our roads this year. That is six more compared to the same time period last year.
“Road users should keep an eye out for increased numbers of pedestrians using or crossing roads, particularly close to parks and leisure amenities, in addition to junctions and bus stops and in particular, on rural roads, day and night. “In addition, drivers need to be alert to the presence of motorcyclists using the road network, particularly when emerging from and turning into junctions.
