Traffic "engineers" worship moloch, exhibit 356
These demons think this is the safest way to build a road, so if a driver loses control they can careen into the sidewalk before scratching their paint
I guess it's good that they at least used high-vis paint for the concrete structure, but man, they definitely had other options with their resources
(Also that barrier being outside of the sidewalk is fucking insane)
What is a better way to calm traffic without pouring concrete?
A crew of laborers with one truck can install one of these roundabouts in a single work day. This is as cheap as you are getting
the- I think the "without pouring concrete" stipulation is a bit disingenuous here, considering. Y'know. The whole DEADLY FIXED OBJECT thing. Concrete is quite literally dirt cheap.
There is no such thing as a deadly fixed object on neighborhood streets. That is a term from highway engineering that this Moloch worshipper is misappropriating.
Considering that drivers must keep to speeds that are non-fatal for pedestrians, any crash with a fixed object should be non-fatal after they expend their crumple zone and deploy airbags.
Cars that are not under the control of a responsive driver must be brought to a halt by any means necessary before they strike pedestrians.
no idea who moloch is but your point is valid, I also have no expertise whatsoever, so thanks for correcting me
Moloch is an metal god originally worshipped by the Canaanites. He is powered by internal combustion, and worshippers sacrifice their own children for prosperity.
Reviled and nearly forgotten for milenia, his cult has seen a new resurgence in North America since the early 20th century
