      And it’s the perfect height. Too much lower and I even think people would be too cautious (or at least there wouldn’t be as many crashes). Too much higher and there would be nothing. It’s like 90 feet in baseball...the perfect length.

      Colin Harris Have the signs prevented people from smashing into the bridge? Has the signs fixed the situation? No and no. A good lawyer will show that signs have been ineffective for years in preventing accidents at the bridge and that the city has failed in taking proper steps in ensuring these accidents no longer happen. A good lawyer will show that the city has been negligent in taking proper steps to fix the problem rather than the ineffective signs. Juries love to stick it to the deep pockets in favor of the little victim. Warning signs on McDonalds hot coffee cups did not prevent them from being successfully sued for negligence when someone was burned . Warning signs will not absolve anyone. It will only show that the city was aware of the problem but refused to take the necessary actions to fix the problem because it’s an expensive fix. The city is gambling that no innocent bystanders will ever get hurt there. It’s all about money.
