M275 Traffic

The M275 is a motorway that runs approximately 5.5 miles through the English city of Portsmouth. It is a dual three-lane route, and is one of the main routes into the city. The M275 was opened in 1995, and was built to relieve congestion from the A27 and A2030, two of the main routes into Portsmouth.

The M275 has an excellent safety record, with only a few minor collisions reported in the twenty years since it opened. The British Department for Transport’s statistics show that between 2005 and 2009, there were no fatalities on the M275, and only 18 reported collisions with slight injuries. The total casualties sustained in these mishaps included 22 slight injuries and no serious or fatal ones. This compares very favourably with the national figures, which show a 14 percent reduction in fatalities on motorways between 1995 and 2011.
