Sample answer: Boosting
security
 on roads is a debatable issue. Some people argue that imposing tight limitations on speed is the best approach to tackling dangerous
road
 accidents while others disagree.
This
 essay will discuss why reducing speed can be an efficient strategy, but why enlarging
road
 networks and encouraging the
use
 of public
transport
 are ultimately superior strategies.
First
 and foremost, lowering
speed
Suggestion
the speed
 on highways and motorways is an effective solution to the increasing number of accidents and car crashes as excessive speed has always been reported to be the main cause
for
Suggestion
of
 deadly injuries and loss of life in many countries around the world.
For example
, in many European countries, detailed government reports about
road
security
 in 2015 show that a staggering 50 to 60
per cent

percent
 of total accidents reported were caused chiefly by speed. The report results pushed many governments to consider putting caps on the speed of cars and lorries to deal with the issue.
As a result

road
 accidents. Building new roads as well as promoting the
use
 of public

 are the most efficient policies to enhance
security
 on highways.
First

 lowering the potential risk of accidents.
Moreover
, governments can encourage people to
use

Therefore many

Therefore, many
