Speed limits, police checks, accidents

Because of the speed limit of 100 km / h and the high volume of traffic, there are frequent police controls.
Especially weekday afternoon, the road out of town is very busy and it formed long queues. At the junction with the Alsopps Road in Launching Place, there are most accidents because there are often traces of diesel fuel and oil on the road because of the adjacent gas station. In just 6 months passed 7 accidents there.
