We have scientifically identified road sections which have the most frequent accidents by compiling data on traffic accident occurrence in each road section. Countermeasures are being focused on very worst sections, which we call the "red zone." The red zone consists of only about 7% of the total number of road sections under our management, but about 65% of the budget for measures to prevent traffic accidents will be devoted to the improvement of these sections.
We anticipate that this kind of rational management, in which problematic locations are scientifically identified and made a budget priority, will lead to more effective use of invested funds for the reduction of traffic accidents.
