Dangerous road junctions
One of Cumbria County Council's key transport
priorities is to reduce the number of people that are killed or
seriously injured on the roads in Cumbria.
Each year a programme of engineering safety
studies is carried out where clusters of accidents have occurred.
This programme is developed using the accident database by a
sub-group of the Cumbria Road Safety
Partnership (CRSP) (external link) which includes Cumbria
Police. We carry out studies at single sites, whole route lengths
and in urban areas. The accidents are analysed to establish any
patterns and, where possible, to identify engineering measures that
are likely to reduce future collisions.
Cumbria County Council provide Road
safety (external link) as part of their Transport
& Roads service.
