This report supports the government’s new approach. It provides results for the targetable 10% of British roads where the majority of deaths take place – our motorways and ‘A’ roads outside major cities totalling more than 25,000 miles (44,400 km).

The report maps how total risk changes on our road system as the same drivers in the same vehicles turn from one road section onto another. It highlights that risks can be twentyfold or higher on some roads than others. The report even shows that the risk of death and serious injury on the main roads of a whole region can be almost double another.
