A809 named most dangerous road in Scotland as number of accidents soar

IT'S a key route for commuters and day trippers leaving the city behind but now a winding stretch of the A809 has been named as the country's most dangerous road.

The narrow, undulating road between Milngavie and Croftamie was the scene of 24 fatal or serious crashes between 2006 and 2010, according to the Road Safety Foundation (RSF).

It is now the third most dangerous road in the UK following a 41% rise in accidents and the high volume of traffic using the route, the pressure group said.
