What is a potential consequence of failure to manage dust on roadways?

The potential consequence of failing to manage dust on roadways is an increased likelihood of collisions. Dust can significantly reduce visibility for drivers, making it challenging to see road signs, navigate turns, or identify other vehicles and obstacles in time to avoid accidents. When dust is not controlled, it can also cause slippery surfaces, further contributing to dangerous driving conditions.

In contrast, improving air quality, enhancing visibility for drivers, or boosting mining productivity are not direct consequences of poor dust management. In fact, neglecting dust control measures would likely lead to decreased air quality due to the dust particulate matter in the air, impair visibility instead of improving it, and could hinder productivity by disrupting the safe operation of vehicles and equipment on the mining site.
