Joe looks at the A588 in Lancashire, a road with combined hazards.

Joe Crowley looks at the UK's most dangerous roads and asks how we can make them safer. Joe looks at the A588 in Lancashire, a road with combined hazards.

Joe Crowley has been travelling up and down the UK looking at some of the nation's most dangerous roads and asking if there is more that can be done to make these routes safer for those who use them. 

Joe is in Lancashire looking at the A588, and a section of road where the speed limit and a lack of pedestrian crossings are a hazard to all road users. He meets the family of a teenager seriously injured as she crossed the road, hears from those who live alongside the road and gets the assessment of an independent road safety expert, before confronting the council. 

Also on the show, we visit the A1307, just south of Cambridge, to hear how a decade of campaigning saw major improvement work carried out by the council on a notorious and deadly stretch with dramatic results; and Joe visits the Transport Research Laboratory to find out how psychological traffic calming measures can influence the speed of drivers.
