Elmbridge Cycle Group

The government has just released data about the location of cycle accidents for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007.

I've taken this data and viewed part of the Elmbridge area in Google Earth. Here's what it looks like:

There are obvious clusters around Weybridge and Walton and along the main roads. There were three accidents on Waton Bridge compared to none on Chertsey bridge. Hersham Road from Walton to the Halfway is also prominent to my eye.

If you want to view this data yourself in Google Earth or want more information about where it came from then check these blogs:
