Correct answer
Separate carriageways for each direction.
Separate carriageways reduce head-on conflicts associated with undivided two-way traffic. This does not eliminate crashes or make every speed safe. Rear-end collisions, departures from the road and other crashes remain possible; maintain attention, separation and appropriate speed. Monotony and high speed are not themselves safety benefits.
