Dangling modifier

Hi.

Make whatever changes that are necessary to correct sentences that contain "dangling" introductory elements.

By obeying all traffic regulations, many accidents can be avoided.

My corrected versions:

-> If people obey all traffic regulations, many accidents can be avoided.

-> With people obeying all traffic regulations, many accidents can be avoided.

-> By obeying all traffic regulations, people can avoid many accidents.

Are they all correct?

Persian Learner Are they all correct? Yes. Note, however, that the second one (with 'with') is the weakest stylistically.
