It’s insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.

    I mean so what’s to be done then. I agree on “redesign pretty much every street or road” but like, until then, it’s just a great big free for all?

      If the road is dangerously designed, close the road.

        Ah yes, let’s just close all the roads in the country until we get that sorted out, great idea.

          Why not? It’s obviously a huge hazard and people can’t be trusted to use it safely. So for the public health and safety this road should be closed. This also means the poor council doesn’t need to maintain this road anymore saving money in the long run. Maybe a train could even replace where the road was increases throughput and safety for everyone.

            Why not?

            Because that’s hardly what can be considered a realistic solution. Again, not against it, but what, are you gonna close down like 90% of roads? Only some of them, if so, which ones, and how is stuff handled on the ones that remain open?

              Not all roads, just roads that “require” speed cameras.

                I’m sure your plan will be popular with the motoring public that anti speed camera rhetoric is trying to appeal to.
