If they go to that effort why not, you know, fix the intersection/road? TBH now that I'm driving in the UK there's all sorts of weird inconsistencies while driving/the roads, but their attitude to it seems to be that it's fine.
I'd just love it if roundabout signs posted before the entrance showed:
* The lane starting from the left, that you need to be in to get to a certain exit
* Number of lanes/exit
Atm it's a bunch of guesswork involving:
* Not being able to see the arrows/road names painted on the road because THEY'RE COVERED BY CARS OH HOW DID WE NOT THINK OF THIS
* Not being able to see the arrows/road names painted on the road because they're so faded because they haven't been painted in 5-10 years

Putting up a cross can be done one person in an hour. Fixing a road or intersection is months of work for tens of people,several machines, tonnes of material.

- fennecfoxy 4y agoI guess I worded that badly, I more meant "surely a number of white crosses on an intersection, and the deaths of several people is enough to take action and rework the intersection". It's a failing of a government/council to have several people die at a junction that's clearly dangerous and then decide to do nothing about it. Economics/value of human lives at play, I guess...
