Road Safety Via Intersection Improvements- Please!

Today’s highway safety boondoggle, story of the day comes from Palm Coast where they are trying to make their roads safe one intersection at a time.
Here’s a quote from the article:

“The City Council will hear presentations on an intersection safety analysis study of Palm Coast Parkway and Old Kings Road, and Belle Terre Parkway and Cypress Point Parkway.
The study, conducted by Ghyabi & Associates, was undertaken due to an increase in traffic accidents at the two intersections.
The report analyzed existing traffic safety and operational conditions at the intersections and offered recommendations for possible inclusion in the city's Transportation Improvement Program.
Among the recommended changes, the consultants offered several safety suggestions for both intersections, including:
· Overlay pavement.
· Provide adequate drainage.
· Groove pavement.
· Provide "Slippery When Wet" signage.
· Install or improve warning sign.
· Install 12-inch signal lenses.
· Improve or install pavement markings.
· Improve roadway lighting."

Please, please give me patience. Regular readers of this blog know the folly of this study / safe roads strategy. Again, let’s say with all this study and implementation of the costly recommendations; accidents are reduced at this location; what is the net result for all of Palm Coast if the problem is not the intersection.
What if the drivers do not practice our five “Safe Driving” rules? What if the unsafe drivers just move down the road to have their accidents?
