1990 Road not in great use
1991 Nearby road closed: road in great use
1992 Bus stop moved 100 yards
1990 Road not in great use
1991 Nearby road closed: road in great use
1992 Bus stop moved 100 yards
【正确答案】
【答案解析】The rate of traffic accidents has dropped considerably on River Road in recent years. According to the statistics we have in hand, only two accidents took place in 1999. This accident rate is even lower than that of 1990, when the road was not in great use yet.
In 1991, as a nearby road was closed, River Road began to be busy and a lot of accidents followed consequently. To bring down the accident rate, the local government moved the bus stop 100 yards away from the road and reduced accidents markedly. However, in the next three years, the accident rate remained more or less at the same level.
Then, in the years from 1996 onward, the local government put No Parking, No Right Turn and some other signs by the road. All these signs proved to be very effective in reducing traffic accidents.
