The rates that have been provided are based on 2009 annual average daily traffic flows and the last three full years’ accident statistics. This is the normal practice when providing accident rates across the trunk road network to ensure consistent approach when reporting on accident rates.
The figures quoted may differ slightly from those published elsewhere because they were extracted on a different date and the database may have changed between the two dates, for example due to late returns or corrections to earlier returns. The rates are calculated using sample annual average daily traffic flows recorded in 2009.
