How Road Builders Cause Mass Accidents With Their Negligence
Drivers have long been accustomed to the contemptuous attitude of road services towards them, and there are many examples of this. Often, when “improving” the roadway, obstacles appear in front of the car owner, which can not only seriously damage the vehicle, but also kill the driver. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about another example of such negligence.

A typical situation: the driver is driving on a poorly lit road and a high curb appears right in front of him. The car is in the trash, the driver is in shock. Once upon a time, the capital’s helmsmen complained of unexpected obstacles in the form of ill-defined structures appearing where they had never been before.

For example, I remember an accident in Chistye Prudy’s area, when they started building “islands” of tram stops there and didn’t mark them with anything. The car just crashed into such a superstructure, and the driver survived only thanks to the deployed airbags.

Later, people called such “surprises” on the roadway “the fangs of madness” and “the teeth of Liksutov”. These dangerous constructions are marching on a large scale, not only in the Mother See, but also in the regions. So strange yellow dividers were installed on the highway to Krasnaya Polyana. The idea seems good, but its implementation led to sad consequences.

The fact is that such separators are very difficult to see in the dark. In addition, they were ground with tires, which further reduced visibility. As a result, if a car hits such a structure, it bounces, and then everything depends on the speed of its movement. If it is decent, landing will be difficult. Sochi drivers argue that after such “flights” the rims should be thrown away, because they bend. And light alloys generally break apart. As for the suspension, it also experiences increased loads: levers suffer and silent blocks “burst”.

But mainly went to motorcyclists. When hitting such a “curb”, a person is simply thrown out of the saddle. The RiderHelp telegram channel reports three injured motorcycle racers, one of whom sent his photo after the accident.

What are these strange yellow structures? Yes, simple – separators, which must be equipped with reflective columns. But the mails were delivered with great delay, which led to accidents. And if the road builders had done everything at once, many problems could have been avoided.
