The majority of serious and fatal collisions happen at junctions. Explore London's most dangerous junctions and how to fix them.
Sometimes junctions are so hostile they act as a barrier to people cycling in and around a whole area. When they’re improved the payback is huge – they unlock miles of new cycle routes and make cycling, walking and wheeling safer for thousands of people.
Using a custom-designed map (updated for 2024), we’ve identified the most dangerous London junctions for people cycling and walking in every borough. We’re calling on the Mayor, Transport for London and local councils to make rapid temporary improvements; followed by permanent changes that remove all critical safety failures. After years of inaction, we press politicians to put lives over driving convenience and fix more junctions on our map.
We need to keep this issue in the spotlight so funding is made available and barriers to progress removed. Please use the map to find the worst junctions in your area and get in touch with your local group to help fight for change. And if you’re a councillor, council officer or transport planner, read our policy recommendations on how to make junctions safer.
