Reply to comment by PayneTrainSG in VCU student death highlights worsening pedestrian fatalities trend in Richmond. How can the city fix it? by CrassostreaVirginica

Interested in your design ideas. Do they include launch ramps into pits? trip wires?

there actually are lane designs where buses and commercial vehicles can straddle a pit, and passenger vehicles fall into them. i don’t know how well they work in america with all of the lifted trucks.
