Harrogate's roads come under the domain of North Yorkshire County Council, and the area has seen a steady decline in fatalities and injuries caused by road traffic accidents since 2009. The total number of casualties has reduced from 2438 in 2009 to 1896 in 2018. Out of these, 230 of them resulted in a fatality in 2018, with additional 369 suffering serious injuries. The total number of people killed or injured in 2018 stood at 599.

Though the number of casualties saw a considerable drop, the region still has some of the most dangerous roads in the country. The A1(M) and A629 around Harrogate are amongst the top 10 most dangerous roads in the UK, with 37 casualties in 2018 alone.

In terms of road safety, North Yorkshire County Council undertakes various safety measures to improve safety on the country roads. These include installation of modern safety equipment, improvements to roadside infrastructure, and partnership with local law enforcement to reduce the number of such fatal accidents.

The North Yorkshire Police also tracks the number of collisions and other potential risks on the county roads and implements appropriate strategies to address them. The changes in road designs and regulations have helped in creating a safe and smooth driving experience for all road users.
