Capital’s car crash hot spots identified in study

Beware the intersection: A study of road collisions in Dublin shows where and when crashes are more likely to occur.

The analysis of 10,000 road-traffic collisions over six years has found that a spot near the Naas Road, the point where the M11 and the M50 meet near Bray, and the M50 near Clondalkin are areas where “clusters” of crashes occur, in addition to the city centre.

There is an increased likelihood of serious accidents at night-time on bendy roads, and heavy traffic is more likely to lead to a minor collision, rather than a serious one.
