CrashMAP ; what have you found?
Discussion
Hearing about CrashMAP, a for-profit interactive map of where accidents have happened ( using DfT and Police STATS system) I have found some pretty haunting facts about my former residence's country roads.
Looks innocent? 2 people died at this very corner and many more seriously injured between the periods of 1999-2005. Only beginning since then has the council stopped this black spot, and it is now a much safer route.
Same applies for B574 Orlingbury Rd, where a well publicised (BBC News Archive) fatal accident involving a Peugeot 106 and a 37 year old cyclist occurred in 2003. For the sake of the poor man's family and the driver's I will not name him but the story is easy to find.
On another side of the road, a woman was seriously injured.
The Council has done a good job to effectively stop deaths in this small parish of 900 people due to road accidents to nil.
Now, Little Harrowden was an example. I might sound like the woman from BRAKE but driving through the areas where black flags are littered around, even in Hertfordshire, has made me drive a bit safer.
Keep the hooning safe, guys.
You can look at the CrashMAP for free but to buy an accident report you need credits.

site is painfully slow.
they need to get some amazon ec2 clusters spun up to take the load because first impressions show it as being not worth the money!
It is unfortunately, you can find the statistics on the DfT site anyway and just load it up on excel. The thing they do is plot it.they need to get some amazon ec2 clusters spun up to take the load because first impressions show it as being not worth the money!

stopping area for what? why were they stopping?
Would you try and slow down after losing control? Or would you prefer to end up dead?Why are they losing control? Most people dont lose control on most bends - whats different there
Second was a two car crash on the bend - a 19 year old teenager , likely driving to work (8:56 AM according to BBC News data)
So this proves that I am in fact, incorrect.

Not to worry
The other thing is these were two accidents in 2005. nothing before then nothing afterwards
You cant tell if the 'improvement' has made a difference or whether nothing was due to happen anyway
However..
All FATAL.
