A report from the Road Safety Foundation has listed the ten most dangerous roads in the UK. Measuring accident data from 2007-2011, the report’s authors came to the conclusion that it is still the A537, the Cat and Fiddle road, between Macclesfield and Buxton that’s the most perilous route in the UK. According to the data, it is nine times trickier to drive along than the average single carridgeway A-road. All this, despite the local authority installing a botched average speed camera zone along the road. Not all roads are as entertaining as the Cat and Fiddle, but the Peak District owns a few other roads in the top 10, including the A5012, the A621 and the A6.
