It might have been mentioned, but what about all of the people who slow down when they approach a traffic accident? The wreck can be on the opposite side of the interstate and just about everyone who passes slows down.. Some will even tap their brakes.

I hate when traffic is backed up a little... And you get upon the spot and then as you pass it it is smooth travels.. And realize you spent an extra 10-15 mins in traffic just because people wanted to get a look at a wreck.

Rubbernecking isn't a Baton Rouge phenomenon, it's a global thing. Humans like to see carnage and car wrecks, just the way it is.

I think a solution could be to put up those NASCAR screens so people have nothing to look at, but they'd probably just try harder and slow down more to peek around them.
