M1 J45 — Blackspot analysis Leeds & Cross Gates

Warning Zone · 29 combined incidents · 1 fatal · On the M1 within 2 miles of J45

Wider area: counting every road within 3 miles — local streets, A-roads, everything — 1,120 collisions are on record, 13 of them fatal. That figure tracks how built-up the area is rather than the road, so it is context only and the score below does not use it.
