Road Works Test 2006

 

Caution, Road Works Ahead!

Location: A roadwork zone just after the exit of a 2,500m tunnel on the A3 highway near Aschaffenburg, Germany: two policemen are killed while trying to clear accident debris from the site. Three days later, same location, a motor cyclist is killed. A lorry driver misses the end of a traffic jam, starts skidding and rams a motorcyclist into a heavy goods vehicle ahead.  And so the saga continued. Over a period of just four months this road works zone clocked up 190 accidents and a death toll of three. The bottom line is that the number of accidents occurring had quadrupled in comparison to the same period during the previous year when there was no road work zone.
