There are a few inexpensive solutions to cut down the number of accidents on the infamous S-curve at Oak St Beach in Chicago.  If the city would install police lights (like on top of the car) along the break wall at the S-curve people would slow down.
I have witnessed less accidents when a patrol car with the lights on is in the area of the curve.
Another inexpensive solution would be to line the break wall with reflective tape.

Here are some articles on S-Curve:
