Abstract

Total collision and personal injury accidents on the highways of Ontario during the inter of 1971-72 (without studded tires) are compared with those during the previous winter (with studded tires). Analysis is made, both overall and on a regional basis, of the specific road condition condition reported at the accident site and the condition generally prevailing. In spite of the general upward trend, summer and inter, in highway accidents, the proportion of accidents on icy, snopacked, snoy, or slushy roads declined folloing discontinuance of the use of studded tires.
