This might be of interest to some of you .... Its not totally morbid but lets you choose your area to see where the death roads are. !!! Lets see if those scameras are justified then !!

Interesting to see that most of the ones near me are on 30mph limit roads. Would there have been a fatality if they were only doing 30mph I wonder? |

Your ok then .... no fatalities in my neck of the woods apparently .....
Some would argue that all the scameras, road humps, traffic calming, pot holes, and dead wildlife is working to deter speed. |

Okay, don't know how accurate this thing is, but it's showing 1 in an open field and 1 on the Union Canal near me, how do they count as road deaths I wonder?

Well I am not sure what the incident you are meaning at the Union canal but I know we had a fatal near whitecross in the union canal where the car ended up in the canal with someone trapped inside! Could be tha one?

The one I'm referring to is 16th November 2008, just off Station Rd, Broxburn, a short distance before it goes under the M8, is that classed as Whitecross?

Interesting though innit ;) One other gem of information is that from what she has heard from Transportation, the 20mph speed limit is not enforceable because its not law ??? I need to look into this more. |

If the 20 mph limit is on a white sign with a green circle border than I don't think it is enforcable. The green, I think, means advisory speed limit, like around schools and in housing estates etc. One for Gary to confirm? |
