If they don't react and provide for true studies and action on the results of such studies, maybe they need to be voted out in the coming elections. Come on folks it is your lives that matter!
A little closer examination: 9 years, 9 deaths (according to posts above). I remember at least 2 of them were when a cart turned directly in front of a car, and one where the car turned in front of the cart. So at least 3 were bonehead moves, probably most if not all.

So how exactly would one make these roads "safer". License cart drivers? Retest driver license renewals? Spend millions on a "true study" ?(whatever that is). Personally, I'd like to vote for the county commissioners that say no to this garbage and not try to fix stupidity on the part of drivers by throwing millions away trying to make the world safe. Unless the majority want big brother to run every aspect of their lives.
