so far no reported accidents there, but could make some income as many speed though there. It will deffinately slow the traffic throughput. If you think about it all accidents happen at about 0kph. So only difference is the speed prior to the accident. only difference is really vehicle in front is slower than one behind, so matter what speed is being done

Agreed, it's the stopping too quickly rather than the speeding which hurts!

Really the not stopping hurts more
