yeah, rural crossings are dangerous in the US, but it's probably not worth the inconvenience and cost of lowering the speed limits or adding stops.
people expect to use these things to travel hundreds of miles in a reasonable amount of time. there are literally thousands of these highways, and probably hundreds of thousands of crossings.
- tinco 10y agoTo be fair, it looks like the visibility is great, I don't know the weather conditions at the time of the accident but I feel the 'driver' must not have had his eyes on the road at all. It's not like a combinator like that speeds onto a highway, it was probably visibly entering it from a mile away.
