I am really surprised. I would have guessed that was the number of accidents (not deaths) in my city of about one million. . What do they mean by "hidden dangers"? Are they going to cut down the pretty flowers that they plan along the medians so that drivers can actually see the other cars?! Wow, those number are hard to believe…so LOW. I am really surprised.

It's surprising that there are not more reported seeing that many people don't look when they are crossing the street or got their licenses out of a rice packet. As a comparison, in New York City in 2006 there were approx 300 fatalities and roughly 44,000 reported accidents involving vehicles and people.

What an improvement.....thank you comrades. Thing is.... they improve the 20 most deadly and another twenty take their place immediately. The traffic patterns and road designs look like they have been laid out by a five year old using Dinky toys. Vanishing lanes, intersections that aren't aligned.......and that in new developments.
