An effective, inexpensive method of reducing accidents on the Ortega Highway--one of the most dangerous in the state--should be implemented. Turn-out and passing zones, well marked in advance, should be built, with asphalt surfaces at the same level as the highway and long enough to permit a car to turn out to let faster cars pass and not have to stop.
On my last trip on Ortega Highway, several cars wanted to pass me and hugged in so close behind that I did not dare risk turning out onto one of the short, rough, narrow gravel spaces wide enough for my car.
