M32

The M32 motorway is an urban motorway built in the 1970s in Bristol, England, and is a vital link between the city centre and the M4 and M5 motorways. It forms part of a complete bypass of inner Bristol, providing access to areas such as Filton, Lockleaze, Easton and Bishopston.

Since its opening, the M32 motorway has been known for its steep gradients at either end which have caused congestion and accidents. However, road safety measures have been implemented in recent years, resulting in significant reductions in the crash rate in recent years. According to the government safety report for 2018, there were only 14 injuries in the whole of that year, with the only fatalities occurring in 2017.

Overall, the M32 motorway is considered to be a safe motorway, with significant improvements in the crash rate in recent years. It continues to be a vital transportation link for commuters and city visitors in the Bristol area.
