1/ I built a free tool that shows you which route to your destination has the fewest historic collisions.
It is called SafeRoute.

Here is the story behind it.

Run it back.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

@DarrenArsenal1 Didn’t even get the access code yet

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

10/ It is free. It covers the whole of the UK. The data comes from the DfT STATS19 dataset, which is open.
I would love honest feedback. Try it: https://t.co/7hyD7Mnprz
Especially interested to hear from cyclists, parents, fleet managers, and anyone in road safety.

9/ Google Maps optimises for speed. Waze optimises for traffic. Neither of them tells you anything about the collision history of the road you are about to travel down.
SafeRoute fills that gap.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

8/ I review collision data professionally. I know which roads are dangerous and why.
But that information is locked inside local authority databases and PDF reports. The public struggle to access it when they are actually planning a journey.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

7/ Why did I build this?
I am a Chartered Engineer and highways and road safety engineer. I spend my days designing pedestrian crossings, traffic calming schemes, 20mph zones, and junction improvements.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

6/ Once you have picked your route, tap Navigate and it opens straight into Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze.
SafeRoute is not a navigation app. It helps you choose. Your preferred app handles the turn by turn.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

5/ It works for driving, cycling, and walking.
When you select cycling, it only scores against collisions involving cyclists. Same for pedestrians. The routes themselves change too, using cycle paths and footpaths where appropriate.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

4/ Fatal and serious collisions carry more weight in the scoring. A route with one fatal collision scores worse than a route with several slight ones.
The score is out of 10. You can see exactly how many fatal, serious, and slight collisions sit along each route.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

3/ So I rebuilt it from scratch.
SafeRoute now covers the entire UK. You type in two locations and it scores each route option against 700,000+ historic collision records from the Department for Transport.

[Niyochi @Niyochie]

2/ A few years ago I built a collision map for London. It plotted road collisions on a map using open data from Transport for London (TfL).
It was a fun project but not very useful. You could see where collisions happened but you could not do anything with that information.

I swear imma make It and when I do, they're gunna show this tweet lol

Flow state.

[Engineering Council @EngCouncil]

Oyeniyi Ibidapo-Obe MSc CEng FIHE noticed early in his career that there was a strong correlation between professional registration and career advancement, driving his decision to become Chartered. https://t.co/g2BkwLnfQc @TheIHE #CEng #CharteredEngineer

Racism is not acceptable, full stop. And it has absolutely no place in a game that people love - a game that’s meant to unite us, not divide us.

The @FA talk about zero tolerance, but unless you’re playing in the @premierleague or on a televised stage, incidents are too often ignored or brushed under the carpet. That’s not good enough!

As a club, @Kempston_Rovers will not tolerate racism. If it happens, we will walk away - we will forfeit any game where racism takes place. Our players’ safety, dignity, and respect come first, always.

Enough is enough. Football should bring people together - and we will stand by that principle every single time.
