Japan is a case in point. It has reduc

38、ed automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion.

Now the American Association Foundation for Traffic Safety

39、 in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japans success.

40、fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation .To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed - related hazards are the greatest -curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.
