[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 26738, member: 441"] Re: Nothing is Wrong and We're Going to Fix it Here's the practical problem with your idea: Do you "protect" eastbound or westbound traffic with your crosses when putting them up on a really curvy road? Or do you put up two crosses for each death, one on either side of the curve? Your idea follows the typical "it won't happen to me"-logic where everybody wants to benefit from the crosses, wheras nobody wants to turn into a cross. I can think of a long list of reasons why you might have an accident while negotiating turns on a dark, narrow, slick and unfamiliar streach of road even if you are careful. To me, having road signs warning us of perils isn't any more unnatural than us driving big metal machines. Of course we could just all drive 3 KM/h all the time... [/QUOTE]
