Correct answer
safer than conventional roads.
In general, they offer greater safety than conventional roads: opposing traffic is separated and junctions are grade-separated, reducing conflicts with oncoming traffic. This does not mean that every journey is always safer. Speed, attention, following distance, road condition and traffic conditions still affect risk.
