Think it's just incidents though, no difference made re what type of accident is marked. Still pretty useful though to check what junctions / roads / areas are more dangerous than other.

Surely this is valuable info when it comes to road planning?**
Not really, without some sort of normalization i.e accidents peruser and analysis of the type of junction e.g design 1 ,2, 3, analysis of what other traffic uses that junction it's hard to draw any good conclusions. Raw numbers don't help here, there maybe a very bad junction in Coventry which has had one death over the past 10 ears but a junction that's design is not ideal but not as bads as Coventry's that has had 5 deaths over the past 10 years.
