Abstract

We analysed the traffic accidents on a typical Swiss road traffic about 14 km and over a period of 11 years before and after the building of a motorway. A new rotat is the most important factor for a really current number of traffic accidents. In the same time we registered a higher density flow of traffic on these roads.
