Traffic safety countermeasure project for arterial roads in Japan

A hazardous locations countermeasure project has been conducted in Japan since 2003 as part of a traffic safety countermeasure project for arterial roads. The aim of the project is to implement effective and efficient countermeasures at hazardous locations, which are determined by their concentration of traffic accidents.
