    Driving road rules and not passing blind because you can't be bothered to slow down might be a better option. Fixing a road doesn't fix drivers who don't/won't pay attention.

    In Texas right now, biggest cause of problems on our roads is an almost total lack of law enforcement. I recently drove up IH35 from San Antonio to Dallas, tried to maintain speed limits, encountered heavy traffic (especially 18-wheelers) and several big construction zones ... took well over 6 hours when it should have been a little over 4. Witnessed every single traffic law being broken and never saw even ONE (!) law enforcement vehicle, much less a single violator pulled over ... at least I didn't witness any fatal accidents.

    I've seen this time and time again - a bad accident happens somewhere because of driver error so they spend millions of $ to redo the road! I'll agree that in some cases it was the design of the road that contributed to an accident, but not in this case.

      I mean it could be. If the truck driver was instead having a medical emergency and crossed into your lane you would not want to be that person. These rural highways with no median are not the greatest.

True that many will just write it off as a misadventure. However, most are not paying attention to the dangerous driving habits of those on the roads today. Around any corner could be a hazard. (And keep everyone in the car belted in!).
