Bad engineering won’t eliminate bad engineering.
That’s not a defense of civil engineering culture, which tends to farm lots of free money from unnecessary work with little value.
The stop signs everywhere are one example. Another I would cite is the end of my street, which was ADA compliant with a modern crosswalk, signals, etc. Unfortunately, the crosswalk lines and stop lines wore off, but the city DPW cannot just re-paint them… they need to spend ~$100k on a traffic study.
