I think there's one of two ways to make roadways safer:

1. Add these safety feature mandates that increase the price of vehicles 2. Move towards banning larger and larger vehicles and create limits on height and clearance for non-commercial vehicles.

The latter doesn't seem politically popular, so the former is the only choice.

There's another way, which is far more cost-effective and particularly well suited to government action: build more public transportation.
