  Bulgaria,
BS_4_2020 Zone 4. Road I-5 before the turnoff for the town of Borovo. The area has an accumulation of road accidents, mainly due to non-compliance with distance, improper overtaking and high speed at which vehicles move. The section is straight, with a length of about 1000 meters. In 2017, a new horizontal marking was laid, the roadside vegetation was cleaned and detours were made. This has reduced the number of accidents in 2018 and 2019 by 25%, which proves that the importance of horizontal marking is great in such sections. A typical problem is that most of the accidents occurred due to non-compliance with the prohibitory axle marking (in the direction of the town of Borovo) and incorrect and dangerous overtaking at high speed. Therefore, the banquets have been cleaned and the watering of the road has been ensured. This black spot location is an example of how relatively low budget measures (marking and cleaning of banquets) have a significant effect on road safety.
