These are preventable crashes, not “accidents.”

You yourself mentioned that one motorist decided to leave his lane.

Instead of blaming the road, a solution might be a real road test that means people have to actually be good at driving to get a license, and strong enforcement of traffic laws. (But without just using the laws as revenue traps.)

I agree with you that it was preventable.

However, without being able to rely on all drivers to act in their or other best interest - driving east bound there are a few roses that are complete blind spots and only once you are almost at the crest, can you see.

There are accident from left turns due to the rise and blind spot- this is what I speak of.

Last night was a fluke, however, in searching for the accident- I discover many accidents and this route gets their fair share.

Like most things the answer lies relatively in the middle, there's definitely a need for better testing, more consequential Enforcment, and safer road design.
