Reading these numbers
What do these figures actually say?
A cluster is a 150-metre stretch where police-reported crashes group together. Counts include only the reports inside those clusters, not every crash on the road.
Busy roads naturally see more reports, so a long, heavily used road will have more clusters than a quiet one. The comparison with similar roads is the fairer guide. The source gives no causes or injuries, and these figures are not a statement that a place is dangerous.
