Now, as traffic congestion has returned to normal, we should expect fatal crashes to decline — not necessarily because of safety programs, but because congested roads slow drivers down. This is what is happening in Tampa Bay and in other cities touting similar results.
Basically, during Covid they expected less crashes but because of different factors, mainly low volume of traffic, a lot of people were speeding, driving drunk,etc. Now that traffic is back, it slows people down meaning less accidents.
Except where I’m at. Congestion just means an obstacle course for the twat driving as reckless as possible. It might slow down a lot of people. But, here it’s the Wild West on the roads.
The police doing literally nothing to stop it isn’t helping. But that’s another story.
You can’t enforce your way out of poor design. Policing cannot fix these problems.
this kind of comment is exactly what the first line of the article is about. lol
