If the collapse is shielded from view until the last instant, but still possible, there's an engineer somewhere who designed a road irresponsibly.

- kortex 5y agoExactly this. The human-factors-engineering take is that these should be mutually exclusive: - a driver should be able to brake if a person falls suddenly (streets) - a person is isolated from/ is incapable of falling suddenly into oncoming traffic (roads) It's the same reason highways are fenced off, extended to streets and roads. A big part of the problem is America's reliance on stroads: too fast to be hospitable for non-drivers, insufficiently isolated to protect non-drivers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroad https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroad
