The issue in question is that of irresponsible drivers – those who exceed the speed limit, those who use mobile phones while driving, tailgaters and, yes, those who exceed the alcohol limit.

It is those who are the danger, both to other road users and to themselves.

Because of this irresponsibility, such items as speed indicator signs and accident statistic signs will have little or no effect and even high friction surfacing and reviewing the camber will have limited value.

What we need is much greater enforcement of the traffic laws by the police and their allies.

Also let this include much greater use of speed cameras.
Incidentally, these cameras do not "persecute the driver," they simply prosecute the law breakers.

Unfortunately, until the above policy is followed, it is almost inevitable that the number of deaths and serious accidents will remain as it is at present.

Do we really care about road safety?
