It’s not just accidents at work
where workers can suffer a personal injury, the journey into work can also be
filled with hazards on the road as workers all battle for position to get to
work on time. Around the country there are a lot of danger hotspots where
improvements could be made, one of which is soon to undergo in South Yorkshire.
A new stretch of road is going to join Junction 31 of the M1
to the B6463 junction at Todwick near Rotherham and is looking at being
finished by December 2013. The reason for the introduction of this new road is
because the road that currently runs from the M1 junction to Todwick crossroads
is one of the most dangerous accident blackspots in Yorkshire. From 2006 to
2011 there was:
- One fatality
- Seven serious accidents
- 30 other road accidents.
It’s good to see a council taking note of these statistics
and looking to implement a solution to reduce the number of accidents in this area.
