Frequent accidents on the L874

The accident on Monday was not the first serious accident on the L874. In recent years, there have been several other accidents on this road, some of them fatal. This has led to calls for the road to be made safer.

The L874 is a busy road that connects the towns of Xanten and Wesel. It is also a popular route for cyclists and pedestrians. However, the road is narrow and winding, and there are several sharp bends. This makes it difficult for drivers to see oncoming traffic, and it can be easy to lose control of a vehicle.

Calls for safety improvements

After the latest accident, there have been renewed calls for safety improvements to be made on the L874. These include widening the road, adding new safety barriers, and improving the signage. The local authorities are currently considering these proposals.

In the meantime, drivers are being urged to be extra careful when driving on the L874. They should slow down, be aware of oncoming traffic, and be prepared for sudden changes in the road conditions.
