WE all know just how dangerous the roads in Bradford can be.

Leeds Road and Shipley’s Airedale Road are just some of the dangerous local roads that often hit the headlines for serious and fatal collisions.

However, they aren’t the only accident hotspots and you can find out where the most dangerous roads near you are using an interactive map from Crashmap.co.uk. 

Crash Map has recently updated its site and now includes information about where car collisions took place in 2020.

The app uses official data from The Department of Transport, which it then inputs onto an interactive map.

It shows you where ‘fatal’, ‘serious’ and ‘slight’ driving collisions took place in your area.

According to the interactive map, more than 250 driving collisions took place on Bradford roads back in 2020.

However, some roads are more dangerous than others with multiple crashes taking place on them in 2020.

Here are some of the most dangerous roads, according to Crash Maps:
