This study was undertaken to prepare a 'Frightening Location Map' based on a questionnaire survey to road users that was carried out to discover potentially dangerous locations and the causes of the potential danger at these locations. At each dangerous location, the causes of the danger were identified by studying the road and traffic conditions. The results showed many locations pointed out by multiple road users, revealing that potentially dangerous locations exist at places that can be specified to some degree. The results have also shown that it is possible to categorize the causes of danger as "road and traffic environment related conditions" and "human factors on the users' side". Road and traffic environment related causes include cases where trees obstruct visibility and cases of staggered intersections where drivers are confused about who has the right-of way. User side factors include drivers failing to see stop signs or red lights, or changing lanes without noticing following cars.
