I agree with you. However, sometimes traffic patterns are either stupidly and dangerously designed, or, as in the case of the crossover southbound at 466, have become more dangerous than necessary due to changes in volume over time.

So while I agree that we shouldn't over-react in order to try to make it safe for the complete idiot (who always seems to defeat those efforts anyway) there may be some reasonable action to make that area safer.

In the meantime, I'm with you. Go slowly, keep your head on a swivel, and watch out for the idiots.
