Tollway Officials Slow to React To Wrong Way Drivers | Dallas, Texas Personal Injury Attorney Blog
In a news story that aired on CBS 11 Dallas, reporter Bennett Cunningham did a follow up on the recent rash of fatality, head-on collisions that have been occurring on the the Dallas North Tollway over the past few months. While the Tollway indicates it is continuing to investigate these accidents and to look for ways to improve safety, CBS simply drove the tollroad and found road signs that were obscured by trees, roadsigns that were so faded that they were no longer reflective, and road signs that could not even be seen by motorists due to the location and placement of the signs. In addition, the story also highlighted that studies have shown that if “Wrong Way” and “Do Not Enter” signs are lowered closer to the roadway, driver’s are more likely to observe these signs, and that where such signs have been lowered, there has been about a 20 percent reduction in wrong-way, head-on collisions.
We encourage you to visit the CBS website to read the full story and to watch the video of the story CBS aired as like so many other corporations, safety seems to be more important to corporations when their conduct is publicized.
