Then a reasonable assessment of whether side striping would have affected the outcome.
Absent some sort of presentation, the subject is emotional, political or simply predjudced/opinion driven. Which is fine as long as the opposing views are respected as well.

The Engineering report had a break down of the accidents, time of day, etc. What the report does not show are non-reported accidents, near missses or poor lighting conditions/areas on the MMPs. What was not done was any type of traffic study on visibility at different times of the day and conditions. It was all based on the Florida requirments for path markings, which are none, and the reported accidents.
Because there is not a complete review there is going to be a lot of emotion. We are all smart people and can regonize problems when we see them. Maybe rather than going rouge or just sweeping the whole thing under the rug, the districts should conduct a complete usage study of the MMPs.
