All Too Often

 

It seems like it happens at least three times a week:  a crash closes an interstate highway running through our area.  80, 81, 84, 380, 476.  Non-interstates like 22, 33, 309, 115 and others are becoming just as bad.

What's the problem?

There are many.

First, a lack of courtesy and common sense, as has been discussed here earlier.

Police are already stretched thin, but we could use more speed enforcement.

Roads are handling more traffic than they were designed to hold.  It seems like we've been talking about widening interstates in key areas for decades.  How's that working out?

Please, slow down.  Even a little bit helps.
