Troubleshooting for accident-prone zones

Many a time do we come across warning boards saying 'accident-prone zone'. Such boards can be spotted at the turn and twist of city and village roads and along highways. According to experts, some of these spots are accident-prone because drivers' vision is obstructed by billboards and roadside trees. Most of these spots are located at or near intersections, roundabouts, junctions and sharp turns on the highways. Road crashes take place frequently on these spots.

We, however, need to thank the authorities concerned for informing drivers about those risky turns and spots. But the question is, if they are aware that certain spots are accident-prone why can't they resolve the problem? They need to check as to why accidents frequently take place there, rectify the defects, undertake remedial measures or find alternatives. This would help protect innocent lives and fatalities. I hope the authorities will take actions to rectify the accident-prone zones as early as possible.
