Highway A44, United Kingdom

From series “Most Dangerous and Lethal Roads”
A notorious track there is in the UK as well. The A44 runs from Oxford to Aberystwyth. It is the country’s national leader in the number of fatal accidents. The road is very narrow and provides one lane for each side. So it’s not surprising that the most common type of accidents on the road are frontal crashes.

The high accident rate on the A44 highway could not but attract the attention of local authorities. Inobservance of traffic rules and serious speeding are the main cause of accidents. Security cameras have been proposed to cover the most dangerous sections of the road to make it safer. Whether these measures will bring the expected result will be known very soon but until then the A44 remains the leader in the number of major road traffic accidents across the country.
