Guangdong seeks help to curb road deaths

GUANGZHOU: Guangdong Province is looking for lessons from abroad in its fight to prevent traffic accidents and thereby curb the number of road deaths in the years ahead.

And the stakes are high - the province leads the nation in fatal traffic accidents. One tenth of all deadly collisions in China have happened in Guangdong since 2002.

Officials said they are combing the globe for effective traffic management measures in the hope of reducing the carnage.
