There's been no deaths within about a 3 mile radius of where I live (live in countryside away from main roads), but until you get onto the main roads, there are 10+

..and clicking around my area, there seems to be a very high percentage involving old drivers aged 45+ years.

I still believe that people over the age of 60 should have to retake their driving test.

Interesting data... most in our are were pensioners ..

would like to know what the criteria for speed cams is again...

because some of the roads where speed, sorry saftey cameras are, have no or only one fatality. i thought it was 2 serious incidents to be considered?

I note

So it's very strange that non of the deaths in my local are occur near the three Gatso's closest?

Yes I realise that they are also placed in area's where serious injuries also occur - so it's not conclusively an argument against them.

But at last with more data like this it can only assist in dispelling that speeding by itself causes accidents. As opposed to other things like road conditions/layout/weather - where I can see 2 deaths have occured in area's where I know the road layout and sometimes the weather causes problems (but the Gatso's are not at that point on the road - just on a "normal" piece of road that is unlikely to see a problem).

Looking at my area, a depressed industrial town in the north, the majority are young people, with quite a few involving motorbike/lorries, and a few motorbikes alone.

Yet STILL the so-called Safety Camera Pertnerships insist that forward facing cameras are the preferred ones

Tell me again how many bikers one of those could catch?

SirFozzalot

Pretty grim. Lots of the ones close to me seem to involve motorbikes too.

The A13 is a bloody death trap and I travel on it every day!

Speeding very rarely causes accidents. But it often makes the consequences much worse.

CrisPDuk

That's nothing, try living at the bottom of the Cat & Fiddle road

Four speed camera's on a road near me, 2 deaths on it in ten years. Over kill?

Dave Thornton

7 within 2 miles of my house - a road nicknamed the bends of death and the council won't reduce the limit to 40 from 50

Nice find.

The light maps are fascinating.

Also note the fair weather bikers getting good finger pointing (and so they should).....The majority of motorbike accident occuring on saturday and sunday between 12:00 and 18:00 hours.

This data is not at all acurate for my area. At least they admit there are likely to be errors, hence the feedback form.
For instance, it says, in 2003 a 46 year old woman was killed, and two others seriously injured at an accident in the street where I live. Its a very quiet residential area, so I find it strange that I or my neighbours have never heard of it.
In another entry, a 73 year old man died in an accident in January 2002 on a stretch of road which wasn't opened until April 2005. It was just fields at the time.
It also fails to disclose an accident where a 16 year old pedestrian was killed by a speeding police car travelling the wrong way round a roundabout.
It did accurately record my two motorcycling friends deaths, but they got the time wrong in one of them.

so with in a 5 mile radius from where i live there has been 15 deaths in cars 4 on motorbikes,5 pedestrians,2 buses and 2 goods vehicle i know its a bad road but didnt think it was that many, interesting but as said depressing.

LUCKO

the fatalities in my area for the last 5 years are all missing

this list is b0l0x imho

Saxo Boy

It's pretty chilling clicking on some of the dots and having details of various friends or people you knew coming up

Daryl

There seem to be a lot of elderly pedestrians involved in the incidents I looked at.

10 deaths on my road alone!
And lots of serious injuries, that this website doesn't show. I know there were 27 accidents on one section of it in the last 5 years so the deaths are only part of the story.
