He normally passes through the place when heading to the D1 motorway in the direction of Vyškov. Driver Petr Poláček is always careful when turning at the crossroads from road 430 to the petrol station and car park at the Rohlenka motor station in the Brno region. “Crossing is dangerous, because it is a bit behind the bend in the direction of Brno. The road slopes downhill there, so drivers drive there quickly, even from the opposite direction, “the man from Brno described. According to the Accident Portal, the crossroads is the most risky place on the roads in the Czech Republic.
Its Map of Risk Points now includes data from insurance companies regarding accident damage. It was this factor that moved the leaderboard to 430 at the top of Rohlenka. There have been twelve accidents in the last two years. According to the insurance companies’ estimate, they incurred a total damage of almost forty crowns. “I would definitely reduce my speed limit there. At least with the help of markers or adding islands or creating bullying, “Poláček suggested.

According to the portal, the most common cause of accidents there is failure to give way. “The place is becoming a crisis when anything happens on the nearby D1 motorway. The intersection then serves as part of the detour route. Drivers drive through it from the motorway to the parallel road 430 or return there on the D1, “said police spokesman Bohumil Malášek.
In twelve crossing accidents in the last twenty-four months, people in the car have suffered one severe and nine minor injuries. Last November, a fire tanker crashed nearby. After the skid, she ended up off the road on the roof. The car then began to burn. Five fire brigades set out to destroy the flames.

Some drivers use the 430 road around Rohlenka as an alternative route with heavy traffic on the D1. In addition, there is another crossroads, from where drivers come from nearby villages, such as Jiříkovice or Tvarožná. All this applies to the high traffic load of the locality. “It would help to increase the capacity of the highway to three lanes in each direction to avoid problems. But it has been solved for many years, “remarked the Besip regional coordinator Pavel Čížek.
So far, the map of risky places showed only the amount of damage according to information from police officers. Data from insurance companies provide a more comprehensive picture of the consequences of accidents. “They record not only damage to property, but also damage to health, in the case of permanent consequences for the injured with payment in the horizon of up to the next decades. The police cannot take these into account in their estimates, however, insurers quantify the related liabilities so that they have sufficient funds for their future payment, “said Petr Jedlička, the actuarial mathematician of the Czech Insurers’ Bureau. The office participates in the operation of the Accident Portal.
