Answered by Simon Lightwood

National Highways undertook a road safety review of the A34 in 2017 and subsequently delivered works including upgrading laybys, enhancing road signs and markings, installing LED studs and clearing vegetation. National Highways continues to monitor traffic and incident data along the route. Road casualty statistics and the underlying data are published annually by the Department for Transport.
