Sure we can say "slow down" or "drive more carefully". But those are just band aids, only necessary for not considering safety as a priority in the initial design and construction.
I wonder when a lawyer will sue the developer because they chose to build something they should have known was dangerous.
The road and path designs incorporate "traffic calming" that consists of physical design and other measures put in place on roads and paths to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety.

The sharp turns are there to force people to slow down.
