Key Findings

Cars are most involved in Accidents

Cars constitute the primary vehicle type involved in accidents, accounting for approximately 114.6k incidents. This indicates a significant portion of road accidents are attributed to car-related factors such as driver behavior, road conditions, and vehicle design.

Challenges of Single Carriageways

Single carriageways often present unique challenges for drivers, including reduced visibility, limited separation from oncoming traffic, and a lack of dedicated turning lanes. These factors increase the complexity of driving on such roads and necessitate heightened awareness and caution from motorists.

Significant Junction Involvement

The data reveals that out of the total 144,000 accidents recorded, a substantial portion—36,000 accidents—occurred at T or staggered junctions. This finding underscores the importance of addressing safety concerns at these critical points on the road network.

Measures to be taken

Road Safety Awareness

Engaging campaigns highlight dangers like speeding, distractions, and driving under the influence, promoting responsible behavior among motorists.

   I​mproved Signage and Road Markings

Where feasible, replacing T or staggered junctions with roundabouts can improve traffic flow, reduce conflict points, and lower the risk of accidents by promoting smoother, more controlled intersections.
