Explanation:

- The passage addresses road safety and how the government aims to reduce road accidents. The words needed to fill the blanks must align with this theme.

- Option 1: Curb - This means to control or limit something. It fits well in the context of reducing the rate of road accidents.

- Option 2: Lure - This means to attract or tempt. This does not fit the context of reducing accidents.

- Option 3: Incite - This means to encourage or stir up, which is the opposite of the objective to reduce accidents.

- Option 4: Promote - This means to support or actively encourage, which does not fit as we need a word that suggests reduction.

The correct choice for blank 4 is Option 1: Curb.
