Whether it will publish the annual accident figures for roads where route accident reduction plans have been implemented within the past th…

At least three year's accident figures are required in order to see how well a route accident reduction plan (RARP) is performing. An analysis of the accident figures for pre-1999 RARPs has been prepared to illustrate the reduction, or otherwise, of injury accidents along these lengths of road. The figures may be distorted by traffic growth, development in the vicinity, treatment of accident cluster sites and the carrying out of improvement schemes or major maintenance, but they do suggest that some RARPs have worked and some have not. They are attempting to deal with the most difficult type of accident to treat
- the random occurrence of crashes along a length of road. The effectiveness of various types of treatment in different locations is being monitored, and should result in more effective investment in such schemes in the future.Trunk Road Route Accident Reduction Plans (1996-98)Route | Scheme Name | CompletionDate | EstimatedCost | BeforeACCS | After ACCS
