Half of all fatal road crashes occur on one-tenth of Britain’s roads, according to the Road Safety Foundation charity. Its report, covering 28,000 miles of A-roads and motorways, says on average Scotland has the highest-risk highways, followed by parts of northern England. The most dangerous individual road was the A537 between Macclesfield, Cheshire, and Buxton, Derbyshire. The charity wants government spending to be targeted at improving safety on the most dangerous roads. Its report, entitled Saving Lives for Less, suggests the high cost of emergency services and hospitals could be avoided by spending small sums in accident blackspots. The foundation is the British arm of the European Road Assessment Programme, the sister organisation of EuroNCAP, which measures car safety. It examined accident data relating to roads across Britain. More
