A Community Network for Bowes Park and Bounds Green
This weekend is the international rememberance day for people killed and injured in road traffic accidents - to mark the event the Guardian website has published a chilling set of figures of the numbers and location of accidents and fatalities on the UKs roads: a total of 32,955 killed, nearly 3m injured over the last decade.
The UK statistics are mapped to the areas where incidents occured - looking at the data for the Bowes and Bounds area it's no suprise that the majority of local incidents occur on the main roads - A406, Bowes Road, Green Lanes - and particularly clustered at major junctions. You can have a look at the map here and use the controls to zoom in to any area of the UK.

Blimey! Almost makes you scared to go out your front door. Lower the speed limit to 20mph in built up areas and not have the national speed limit on country roads would probably help. However, the chart doesn't and can't really show how these accidents happened and only with that information can we educate everyone on all aspects of road safety - from the pedestrian, cyclist and motor vehicle driver.
