Was it that traffic is so low out there people treat it as "stop-tional" and if they can see (or think they see), they don't even slow down?

No. It’s actually the main highway in the area. It’s also a junction that leads to all the communities in the area. I mean, it’s not the transcanada by any means. The population up there is sparse in comparison to the more southern part of Saskatchewan.
People have bitched about the tree line in the past, but no one important enough died at that intersection. After that accident swept across the world, they levelled the trees and now has the brightest flashing stop light I’ve ever seen. I mean you see that light from ten minutes away at night. It lights up the immediate area.
That tree line made it so you couldn’t see north bound traffic when heading west and vice versa. It was even said, when it first happened, that the bus driver may have been able to avoid the accident had he had a line of site. He wouldn’t have seen the semi until it was too late.
