✦ Synopsis

Accidents in darkness totalled 1801 (39% of all accidents) in the same period: 1563 of these occurred on unlit motor ways. Consideration of accidents on different lengths of road related to traffic volumes showed a range from 0.3 dark accidents per km per year on the more lightly trafficked sections to 2.4 dark accidents per km per year on the more heavily trafficked. In comparison, the range of accidents per km during all hours was proportionately less, being 1-1 to 4.9. The report suggests that the larger differences in the numbers of dark accidents per km may be partly explained by the higher proportion of traffic flow at night on the more heavily trafficked sections of motorway.
