And that is the exact same calculation the local transportation agency makes every time their is a car accident with fatalities on a major undivided highway / road. Roads become known as dangerous (eg Blood Alley, officially the 126 is Southern California), and clearly the govt could step in and install some Jersey barriers. Yet they don't, because implicitly the cost of X lives per year is not worth it to society.
