The state of Illinois has one of the leading interstate roads in the United States. It also has a high accident rate with two people killed each day and nine injured.

Traffic officials and controllers have advised residents of the state to follow and obey traffic laws and lights to avoid fatalities. The National Safety Council advises drivers to always wear their seatbelts.

Lack of seatbelt usage by drivers is one of the leading causes of accidents in America. In addition to always belting down, drivers should pull into traffic slowly.

They should avoid running red lights and watch out for red-light runners. Watch out for blind spots, and carry out engine maintenance often.

The NSC also advises drivers to scan the road 12 seconds ahead. Drivers should also avoid tailgates, look backward when backing out, and be courteous to other road users.
