A visually impacting way to display road accident casualty data by the BBC. Although over a long period of time, it’s still quite shocking (especially watching the video) to see just how many road traffic accident deaths there are. It’s also quite easy to forget what each light represents as you watch them scattered across the maps.

They described the static image (shown above) as –

“The image below (above) shows the location of 2,396,750 road crashes in Great Britain from 1999 to 2010. Each light point is an individual collision which resulted in a casualty. The intensity of brightness shows where collisions are more frequent.”
