The problem is one wreck shuts down the entire city. If everything is perfect, which is rare, it's not "that bad".

We have beat the loop and Washington Street exits over and over and over. Has anyone came up with a plan to try and reduce the number of accidents in the first place?

Would banning cell phones do any good? Probably not as I still see people texting and driving daily. Maybe we should increase the fines to something that would really hurt if you were ticketed for that offense?

Would increasing patrols on the interstates help drivers slow down or would it cause more accidents? In the morning, I routinely see drivers exceeding 80 mph on the interstate weaving in and out of traffic. I'm not sure if having the PoPo patrol the interstate more would slow them down or not?

Would restricting 18 wheelers to specific lanes help reduce the number of accidents?

The OT is full of brilliant minds so surely they know how to reduce the number of accidents on an interstate...they just haven't been asked yet.
