At least two people killed every day on this road for the past two weeks. I saw lot of police with speed cameras but the passing drivers from the opposite side flash their lights to warn the drivers about the officers so the slow down until they passed the officers then race again!

It appears DM has started to publish these reports daily. Hats off. As public we should somehow convince the government to enforce road rules strctly.

Roads are safe you moron, its the driving that kills people. Drivers should be careful and jaywalkers should be careful.

Road is safe but the drivers are reckless.
