Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[danbrotherston]

As if one factor like blocking crossovers is enough for you to definitively claim one road is safer than another.  You need to take into account a whole host of factors like traffic volume, typical speeds, types of drivers, road design, etc.  

This is like a perfect Dan post.  A crazy over simplified view of the world in whichever way you need to try to make some point you want to make.

But even if the 401 is safer (which it’s clearly not most times) are you telling me you don’t drive the most convenient route but instead maximize your time on the highway to maximize your safety?  You should build a new gps device that instead of routing by time taken routes by overall safety!  I’m sure it’ll be a big hit.
