AN accident blackspot on the major route to one of the North's top tourist attractions could soon be improved.
North Yorkshire County Council is considering converting a junction just outside Whitby, North Yorkshire, where the A171 Teesside to Whitby road meets with the A169 Whitby to Malton road.
In the past five years, there have been five accidents with five casualties, including two people who died.
The council has consulted with the North York Moors National Park Authority, which said it was generally in favour of the scheme.
A final decision is expected in the next few weeks.
