Ideas How To Improve Highway Safety
Hey i wanted to know what others think are some good ways to improve highway safety.
1. No more ending right lanes
2. Set a realistic speed limit with 85th percentile (120-130 on 401 ex, or a unrestricted limit where possible)
3. Add signs to highway over bridges and over pass (" Move Right Except to pass.")
4. In urban centers have electronic signs with a speed limit according to traffic conditions.
5. Different speed limits on highway according to volume/ conditions / location.
6. Concrete Median where the old wood / steel ones exist.
Anyone else, nothing i have said is unrealistic or to costly, in fact i think alot of other countries have this in place such as the Autobahn and many other European countries.
7. I dont know if possible but perhaps some kind of campaign to help road safety. Instead of saying speed kills or making new laws and fines. Perhaps it would go a long way for the OPP and the MTO to issue some commercials asking drives to drive safe. Such as being focused, not drinking and driving, seat belts, paying attention, moving to the right except to pass.
