    Our highway department actually makes decisions about where to work on safety by counting deaths and near deaths. (And other things, it’s true.) When I’m feeling mellow, that seems almost reasonable. When I’m filling anti-mellow it seems like people are dying to save money for the state.

    I’m remnided of a bar near where I used to work. There was a bar right before the office park that got refurbished and just as they were reopening, it was a cold day and driving into work there were four vulture sitting on the roof ridge. clearly they were just warming themselves but it looked really bad for a place where food was served

    We had local names for some intersections. We called the worse 5 Points. Back in my old days we had a point system for evaluations. Every thing we did had a point assessment. Tickets were 1 point. Intoxication arrests were 3. Fatal crashes were the highest…..so our worse intersections were named 5 Points…as that was the point assigned to Fatal crash incidents. If we had more than one we added compass directions. 5 Points NW and so on.

    The cartoon is pretty much apropos but around here the vultures go for larger carrion but well away from roads. The crows and ravens however feed on death right in front of you. And yet they go hardly noticed at all. Crows and ravens are a lot like small versions of the Grim Reeper. Watch for those little buggers and you will know where the deer cross and where the humans need to pay more attention to what is going on around them before there are more tasty little tidbits

    I recall when many rural crossroads were unsigned. In Full Throttle, Sir Henry Birkin advises that going faster through intersections reduces the risk, as you spend less time in them.

    In some Southern states, it used to be the practice to put up a cross at intersections for every fatality at that location. It got to be too embarrassing because some of the intersections started to look like graveyards. It was decided the money would be better spent on safety improvements, as people had become inured to the crosses. :(

    There is a Bridge I used to cross back and forth to work.

    One afternoon, I looked up and realized that there was at least one Buzzard perched on every single light pole, all the way across that bridge.

    That was my first inkling that driving across that bridge might be a tad more dangerous than the usual commute via Interstate.

    Over 100 Buzzards can’t all be incurable optimists.

    The danger is less from those intent on speeding through than from those they unexpectedly find hesitating and dithering at the crossing, wondering which road to take when there are no signs.
