The unofficial statistics says, there is at least one accident occurred every day along this beautiful 20 km three lanes double carriage corniche road and at least one fatal accident per month. It is not a good statistic though but apparently, that is the fact. In the afternoon today, when we were on the way to Bahery district, near one of the U-turn at Shatby district, two women were hit by car. How it happened only God knows, but both were unconscious while other pedestrians tried to manage the situation two ambulances promptly arrived at the scene.
The question is who to blame? There are more than 10 tunnels built by the authority for people to cross the road safely. The road is ‘equipped’ with all necessary safety measures, such as appropriate signage, lightings, lines, etc. but still the accident statistics are frightening. I would conclude that people attitude is the root cause of this terrifying numbers.
