Representative point only

These figures describe a fixed area around one mapped coordinate. They do not measure the full route and they do not become a safety score.

Reported cycle-involved collisions

10 final-2024 collision records involving at least one pedal cycle fall within 5 km straight-line of the representative coordinate.

0 fatal-severity, 3 serious-severity and 7 slight-severity collision records.

Nearest latest-year traffic count point

A229 is about 0.5 km straight-line from the route coordinate.

Point context, not whole-route conditions

Most held UK route geometries are representative points rather than complete ride lines. The collision radius and nearest traffic counter may cover different roads from the route itself. AADF is an estimated annual daily flow, not live traffic; these figures never produce a safe/unsafe label.
