There have been more than 42 crashes in the curved area since it opened Sept. 8...

WTF?

Obviously the design/signage/speed rating is WRONG.

Doesn't California have experience with highways?

WTF?... Doesn't California have experience with highways?

Yes, but they also have experience with extensive bureaucratic red tape....and earthquakes.

The bay bridge has been a constricted construction zone for as long as I've been travelling out there, and they've always got some little inspection zone of rivet replacing or some kind of additional bracing addition going on on that thing.

To save just one life during an earthquake, how many have to die during construction?

...and some people just refuse to slow down for road conditions regardless of the warning.

Doesn't California have experience with highways?

Yes. We have found that cars are found on and around highways, and cars are evil because they are made of metal and stuff and use gasoline, which is evil.

I>"Doesn't California have experience with highways?"

There was a time when California's freeway system was the best in the world, by far. Today that is not the case. I can't really say what went wrong, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Caltrans engineering organization that could explain it in English......

No., Kalifornia has some of the worst drivers in the world. If someone was following the truck today I am surprised 7 or 8 of them did not follow it right over the edge.
