Report reveals deadly accident on I-1 near Smolyanovtsi caused by poor road conditions
A report by the European Centre for Transport Policies (ECTP) highlights serious issues with road I-1 near Smolyanovtsi, where a fatal accident occurred. The report identifies inadequate maintenance and infrastructure problems that pose a significant safety risk. Clogged drainage systems, unstable slopes, and poorly maintained intersections are among the key issues. Road signs and markings are outdated or missing, making driving hazardous, especially at night.
The asphalt surface is in poor condition, with cracks, wear, and reduced traction, increasing the risk of accidents, especially in wet conditions. The report calls for urgent repairs, including clearing drainage systems, strengthening slopes, and improving road signs and markings. Immediate action is needed to restore the road’s safety.
