Accident Prone Area

Accidents and calamities may happen at any time, but they could be prevented if we anticipate their causes.

I had furnished the Barangay Council of Rizal, Bansalan Davao del Sur with a printed copy of my photo-documentation relevant to the safety of the motorists and commuters passing in the area near the Rizal Bridge. Several cases of accidents happened here in view of visibility problem. While trees are environmentally -friendly, yet, if it would cost the lives of many, then, what benefit can it bring to mankind?

Below is the list of my recommendations as frequent traveler and concern citizen:

1.trees should be pruned so that motorists coming from both north and south bounds can see each other;
2.bushes should be cut down to bring about better visibility;
3.“Accident Prone Area” signage should be placed in order to give warning to motorists.

While the design of the concreted road is not properly angled and the location of the bridge is “blind curve”, we can still make alternatives for safety purposes. Better visibility should be present by way of trimming down branches and cutting off the bushes.
