New statistics have revealed that the inner ring road in Bradford is one of the most dangerous roads in the district
Accidents on the 3.5-mile stretch of road have tripled in the period between 2015 and 2017, seeing a 214% rise in serious and fatal collisions, with 22 having occurred in the three-year period.
In comparison, fatal accidents on A roads in the Bradford district, according to the Road Safety Foundation, with a total of a 10% fall in fatal and serious crashes between the two time periods.
Speaking on the statistics, a spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: "Driver error is normally involved in crashes, however often at crash cluster sites there are common factors which contribute to the collision.
"For example, poor vision at junctions, poor drainage on the carriageway or insufficient signage warning of danger ahead. Where there are clusters of crashes highway authorities investigate these to identify common treatable solutions."
Bradford council have taken steps in reducing the number of serious and fatal collisions on the city’s roads, with a host of new 20mph zones being rolled out in the district earlier this year.
