Also roads designed for cars rather than pedestrians. There's a road in Utah that engineers refuse to augment to improve safety because it would reduce throughput and car speed.

Many don’t because it would mean they admit fault in design. The Raquel Nelson story is a deeply saddening one and yet in many instances like it the DOT refuses to implement safer changes. It’s criminal negligence.
The author Jessie Singer had her boyfriend die. She followed that same path for a decade as person after person died and NYC refused to introduced safety upgrades. It wasn’t until a terrorist ran dozens of people over that they did something.
