asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many fatal accidents there were per mile on the A55, A470, M1 and M3 in the past three years. [HL5337]
The Highways Agency has provided the data for the A55, M1 and M3 in the table below. There is no accident data recorded for the A55 in 2005 or 2006. The A470 does not have any accident data recorded for the past three years.
Accident Year Road Number No. Fatal Accidents Road Length No. Accidents Per Mile 2007 A55 1 88.5546 0.011292468 2005 M1 29 198.3474 0.146208118 2006 M1 18 198.3474 0.090749866 2007 M1 20 198.3474 0.100833185 2005 M3 4 61.479 0.065062867 2006 M3 3 61.479 0.04879715 2007 M3 3 61.479 0.04879715
The figures quoted above are an approximation as the data have been calculated by dividing the number of accidents on the road by the length of road.
