Accident sites
Accident cluster sites are shown as thick red boundaries. A cluster site is defined as a junction or 100 metre length of road (in a 3-year period) with: 6 or more injury accidents; 3 or more fatal or serious accidents; or 5 or more injury accidents providing that one of them is fatal or serious. A "sliding scale" is used for the number of accidents required for a longer length of road to become an accident site.
The associated data shows accidents for 2008 to 2010 and an overall "score". The score is determined by the number of accidents, their severity (fatal accidents contribute more than serious, which contribute more than slight) and the length of road.
