Request

I would like to request information on Traffic Volume, Accidents and the impact of HGVs on the A17 in Lincolnshire, around the A607 junction for a two-mile radius.

I would like to know data about “Traffic Volume, Accidents and additionally the data breakdown which relates to HGVs (traffic volume and accidents) on the A17 in Lincolnshire, around the A607 junction for a two-mile radius."

So, for example there were 50 vehicles and of the 50 vehicles 10 were HGVs. There were five accidents in total and of these three were involving HGVs.

Decision

In terms of the reported injury collisions, the following information relates to those that have occurred within the last five-year period.

On the length of the A17 up to and including the Brant Broughton crossroads and the B6403 junction near to Cranwell, there have been 31 injury collisions. Five of these involved an HGV.

As part of Lincolnshire County Council’s routine monitoring, The Council survey the A17 in two locations.

FC062 – this site is the A17 at Brant Broughton – this was last surveyed in 2021 – attached is the 2021 two-way AADT.

Lincolnshire County Council also survey the A17 at the east of Leadenham junction – this was last surveyed in 2017 – attached is the 2017 two-way AADT for both A17 legs.
