zoom in on your area, then choose a year from the ones below the map.

this is one i drove past a few years ago on my way to uni. i always wondered what happened to them. i saw them putting something over the woman but looks like the man survived. it's kinda sad looking at some of the ones near me. young kids on a few.

That was a depressing add.   Wish we had traffic maps like the one on the link in the US

Where we live, it's not the big ones you have to worry about. It's the little Red Back spiders.

Which reminds me, I'll have to make sure my old man has a can of bug spray ready to hand when he cleans off our outdoor tables & chairs for Christmas lunch. :o

Death road running past my village. I can see it, looking out of my window. Starts getting dangerous a kilometre from here. Past five years four people died, at the same spot. Three from the small village I live in. And lots of other accidents there. One kilometre further from there, farmers had signs in their pastures, telling they had seen enough lethal accidents by now. Its even more tricky there.

It's a fact that mortality rates in traffic are calculated to be measured against economic progress. Cruel, but that's how it works. Would not mind a bit more safety. I think it is worth the costs.
