@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com Hale no it doesn't

for that, i blame our dogshit licensing standards, laws that cause distraction by requiring too many (redundant/useless) road signs but don't limit advertising or commercial signage, and our propensity to double-down on fucking awful infrastructure instead of implementing known fixes (ye olde american exceptionalism)

i also blame judges that let repeat offenders continue to have driving privileges.

as an aside to american road design itself: a fuckton of our roads, especially in the midwest & frontier states, don't exactly "go anywhere". we can blame how lot parceling was experimented with back then on this.
