Another fatal collision on same rural highway where 4 teens and teacher killed.


"I never fired up my CAD software and thought: “how can I design a street to be dangerous and potentially lethal”?"

This is not a tragedy - this is a statistical certainty.


"I don't see a huge and cry for going back to horse and carriage days."
Do you folks realize how short-sighted you come off?

Literally just responses upon responses about how this is unavoidable, and we should just accept people getting killed, even if another person dies on the same road. It's so so so similar to the American psychosis around guns. "Oh yeah, school shootings are a tragedy, but what - you wanna take away guns?" "...you wanna take away cars?" It's like, no! You fools! The world isn't black and white.

And if y'all can't brainstorm solutions, don't request them from the messenger. This will keep happening, and if my posts annoy you, too bad! People are dead and that is bad.

Another example of bad driver getting themselves killed. It's not a hidden intersection, the stop signs are well marked, there was no obstruction, not bad road design. The passenger vehicle simply didn't stop and was hit by the truck driving completely legally and safely. Surprised it took you 4 days to post about it.

You created a thread about London's car dependency, not sure why you feel you need to cast a wider net to include areas where cars would be expected to be the normal mode of transport. Other than I guess, London doesn't provide you with enough ammunition for your cause.
