The 10 most dangerous road junctions in Leeds ...

As in the Yorks Post: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co....oad-junctions-for-cyclists-revealed-1-4367266

As least my commute only involves one of these ! I use the Headrow and down towards the station - if there's not a pile of pedestrians walking blindly across it's a good evening.

Sheepscar Street-Clay Pit Lane-Barrack Road-Chapeltown Road in Sheepscar (13);

I pop up Oatland road from Meanwood road and then up Lovell Park hill and then back down to the building college to avoide this one.

The Headrow-Park Lane in Leeds city centre (11);

I use Brigate and avoid Park Lane & New Market street (which is far worse as buses everywhere).

Ha! I'm amazed I'm not dead yet as I have 5 on my in/out route

I wonder if we can get the more detailed data - some of those involve a downhill stretch and I wonder how many are SMIDSYs particulary Royal Park Corner and Kirstall Lites as I see people flying down those. Also Cumberland Road and Burley mount I'd bet a tenner are either SMIDSY on people pulling out or you being hit from behind whilst trying to turn right. I actually cycle a completely different route on the way home to avoid having to sit in the middle of the A65 at rush hour trying to turn right.

Hyde Park Corner - I'm shocked every night TBH at how little roadsense some cyclist display at this corner, squeezing up the inside of traffic that in all likelyhood is going to be turning left straight away or 20 yards up the road anyway.

I dont read the comments, I'm sure they are just a cut and paste job from 1 cycling article to the next though haha!

I'm suprised no one has mentioned "Road Tax" in the article comments yet!
