Mae heolydd Cymru yn saffach hefyd i blant \- gyda gostyngiad o 15 y cant yn nifer y plant o dan 16 oed ac 16 y cant o ostyngiad yn nifer y bobl ifanc (16 \- 24 oed) gafodd eu lladd neu'u hanafu o'u cymharu â 2016\.   
  
O gymryd y ffigurau i gyd, gwelwyd gostyngiad o 9\.6 y cant yn y nifer gafodd eu hanafu neu'u lladd (anafusion) ar ffyrdd Cymru yn 2017, gyda heddluoedd Cymru'n cofnodi cyfanswm o 6,194 o anafusion.   
  
Gwelwyd gostyngiad o 4\.3 y cant yn y nifer gafodd eu lladd neu eu hanafu'n ddifrifol, cyfanswm o 1,060 o anafusion.   
  
Cafodd 5,134 anafiadau 'mân' eu cofnodi, sy'n 10\.6 y cant yn llai na ffigur 2016\.   
  
Dywedodd Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth, Lee Waters: 


> "Wrth i'n priffyrdd fynd yn brysurach, rhaid inni fod yn ymwybodol y dylai mwy o bobl ar y ffyrdd olygu mwy o ddamweiniau.
> 
> "Pan gyhoeddon ni ein Fframwaith Diogelwch ar y Ffyrdd yn 2013, gosodon ni dargedau anodd inni'n hunain i wneud ein heolydd yn fwy diogel.
> 
> "Fel mae'r ystadegau hyn yn eu dangos, rydym wedi llwyddo i ostwng nifer y bobl sy'n cael eu lladd neu eu hanafu'n ddifrifol ar ein ffyrdd, gyda'r gostyngiad mwyaf yn nifer y bobl ifanc.
> 
> “Fodd bynnag, mae’r ffigurau’n dangos hefyd bod cerddwyr a beicwyr yn wynebu lefel uwch o risg.  Er bod pethau’n gwella, mae angen inni wneud mwy i wneud ein heolydd yn fwy diogel i ddefnyddwyr hawdd eu niweidio, a normaleiddio cerdded a beicio.
