Correct answer
less safe than motorways and dual carriageways.
In general, they are less safe than motorways and dual carriageways. Many conventional roads lack physical separation between opposing directions, have at-grade accesses and junctions, and some overtaking requires entering the opposing lane. These features increase conflict and head-on collision risks. This is a general comparison: it does not mean every section has the same risk or that motorways are free of danger.
