Correct answer
safer than conventional roads.
Generally safer by design: opposing directions are separated and at-grade crossings avoided, reducing certain conflicts on conventional roads. This does not eliminate side collisions between vehicles travelling the same way, run-off-road crashes or other risks. The general comparison does not guarantee that every section or situation is safer; obey limits, maintain gaps and stay attentive.
