Virginia's new interstate roads have proved to be more than 50 per cent safer than the state’s primary roads, a report from the State Highway Department disclose4 today. Both the accident and injury rates of the interstate roads with full access control are half those of the primary roads, and the death rate is only a third of the primary rate. The report issued by the Department’s traffic and planning division, shows further that the new roads built to full interstate standards are far safer than the so-called “old” interstate roads with little or no control of access. It points out. tpo, that the Shirley Highway (Roufe 350) is counted with the new interstate facilities in the comparison, though the road does not fully meet interstate standards.
