Major Nottingham route like living on 'central reservation of M1' despite falling crash numbers

Life near a major Nottingham route has been described like living on the 'central reservation of the M1'. That's despite the number of serious incidents on that route falling according to latest figures.

Data from CrashMap.co.uk reveals that on the A610 Nuthall Road, between its junction with A6514 Western Boulevard to the M1 J26 roundabout, there have been a total of 16 crashes classed as 'serious' since January 2018. Despite the UK being in lockdown due to the Covid pandemic, from April 2020 to March 2021, 7 serious crashes occurred.

One year on, during that same timeframe between April 2021 and March 2022, just 2 serious crashes have happened. It's considered to be one of the most improved routes in Nottinghamshire for incidents.
