Cool

I suspect the partial solution to this problem will be a lowering of the speed limit from 55 to 45, in that area.

That area, in general, has seen an increase in development within the last 2 years that has increased/changed the traffic patterns in that area.

Lowering the speed limit will not necessarily lessen the number of accidents, but rather the severity.
