Highway Safety Corridors are areas where a car

crash is more likely to occur.

Answer 2

there has been many problems so they dont want any more

Answer 3

It's usually in areas where drivers are basically insane- usually going too fast for current traffic conditions.

Answer 4

Either, because of specific conditions add a higher risk, or, because of a road's bad history of collision, some segement get this designation.  Sometimes, besides the speed limits being monitored a bit more closely, engineers may post other requirements, such as asking drivers to turn on their headlights, during the day, for greater visibility.

Answer 5

Its an area that there are a lot of speeders, and accidents.  In my area they are on two lane roads that big trucks use but also have lots of side streets, train tracks and lots of cars trying to use those roads as a short cut.  so they are just trying to make drivers more aware with out putting more officers on the road

Answer 6

They are an area on the highway designed to extract double or triple the money in fines for speeding.

Answer 7

lots and lots of cars

and also many recorded accidents
