Drivers along rural roads have increased their speeds despite the posted limits not having changed in 30 years. I'm frequentlly tailgated any time I dare to drive less than 10% over the posted speed limit. I can imagine that as speeds have increased, it's difficult for other drivers to anticipate what the other traffic is doing.

Ugh, I hate 2-way stop signs, what a horrible tragedy

Looks like a late model Grey Honda CR-V (SUV), reminds me of the Humboldt Broncos crash....

I don’t know about here, but where I’m from a lot of the issues are that most of the rural roads were gravel and are now tar and chip and the speed you can drive easily has increased significantly.
