Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[MacBerry]

I don’t think those stats actually prove that the 400 series highways are safer than backroads, but it’s definitely closer or more likely than I thought.

But that still doesn’t change the point. Dan seems to think trading safety for inconvenience is always wrong and a terrible thing to do.  To the point where some how I’m suppose to pick a family member that will die from some small convenience increase...  

But it’s painfully obvious that people do this all the time. It’s how we live our lives.  Maximizing only for safety would be a terrible way to live and commute.  Hell, there’s a bunch of bike riders and heavy pedestrians in this forum.  You should all give that up and take the bus everywhere because it’ll be a lot safer.

I've explained numerous times.  This is about the fact that engineers design roads that are INTENDED to kill people.  Who should those people be?  No engineer has ever built a plane, bridge, or building which was INTENDED to crash or collapse.  So yes, if you support building roads which are intended to kill people, who should those people be?  Which family members would you pick?  Because it sure is easier when it's other people who are intended to die...

You have made it clear, you refuse to understand this point.

 
Your logic isn't logical ,,, it is weird.
