According to a news report on east midlands today, the number of people killed on Leicestershire's roads fell by more than a third in one year, county council figures show.
Newly released information from Leicestershire County Council shows there were 56 deaths in 2008, a figure which dropped to 36 in 2009.
Officials believe the improvements to signs and roads have been a major contribution to the fall in deaths. The council have commented that they are still working on improving road safety further.
A spokesperson told the BBC: "This is the lowest number of people killed on Leicestershire's roads since the late 1970s.
"But there are still too many lives lost and families devastated through road crashes and we must not be complacent."
