A5630 (LEICESTER RING ROAD) Traffic

The A5630 is a road in Cheshire, United Kingdom, that links parts of the North West and Midlands together. It is mostly a single carriageway road and stretches from junction 10 of the M56 motorway to Winsford.

The A5630 has existed in its current form since 1937, when it was constructed as a purely rural road. In the 1960s, plans were made to upgrade much of the road to dual carriageway, with the intention of providing a link between Liverpool and Chester. However, these plans were shelved as road planners decided to focus on constructing the M56 motorway instead.

The A5630 is busiest during rush hours and especially on weekends. It is popular with commuter traffic and it is often used by drivers coming from the North West to Cheshire.

When it comes to safety, the A5630 records a relatively low number of incidents. The annual average number of fatal and serious collisions is around three. For minor collisions, the average is around 13 per year. The majority of these incidents happen at the roundabouts and junctions along the road.
