And Sheffield’s own Brook Hill roundabout made it into the top 20 with a total of 10 accidents in that time.
The roundabout leaves many people scratching their heads as they try and navigate the lanes while making sense of the road signs.
In February this year, a one-vehicle crash on the roundabout caused major delays for motorists.

The Department for Transport records were filtered so that only accidents taking place near roundabouts were shown - and any records without a map reference were excluded.
The accidents were then clustered into areas, so that crashes on different sides of a roundabout were grouped together.
