Over the last five years a total of 20 collisions (January 2008 to 3

in 34 casualties, of which 4 were fatal, 7 serious and 23 slights.

A further fatal incident happened on or before 2^nd December 2013, for
which we are currently awaiting the official report. This incident is not

A serious injury is an injury for which a person is detained in hospital
or any of the following; fractures, concussion, internal injuries,
crushing’s, severe cuts or lacerations, severe general shock  requiring
medical treatment, injuries causing death 30 or more days after the

Please see the Attachment 1 for the breakdown requested.

For information, a personal injury collision is an accident which has
occurred on the public highway in which a road vehicle is involved which
becomes known to the police within 30 days of its occurrence.  A casualty
is a person who is killed or injured in an accident.  Casualties are
subdivided into killed, seriously injured and slightly injured.  For
example, one collision could result in 3 casualties.

 

Average speed cameras

It is not possible to provide an estimated cost for an average camera
system along this road at the current time, given the unknown costs for
engineering works and the provision of a suitable power supply. 
Peterborough City Council are currently investigating these issues.
