The city has recently erected an electronic billboard to warn motorists of the danger of accidents on the road.

A combination of the steep descent, the windy road and possible brake failure of heavy vehicles resulted in the umpteenth serious accident yesterday.

Fleet managers must also keep heavy vehicles in perfect mechanical order and cut no corners when it came to brakes. They have the lives of people in their hands.

Peoples' lives are changed forever by these accidents. Three fatalities in the last two months qualify that road as extremely dangerous.

The road's a safe road. It's a straight stretch of road, ... We'd have fewer accidents if people would just pay attention and slow down.

The global cost of road accidents in developing and emerging nations is at least $100 billion a year. This is more than twice the total aid received from all bilateral and multilateral sources.
