Death is currently built into our road system and our road designs. Road crashes are the biggest killer of young people, and typically cost 3-5% of GDP in most countries worldwide. For reasons of historical road design standards, the lack of upkeep with the evolution of vehicle speeds over time, and increasing budget constraints, many existing roads are designed for the community in a way that tolerates crashes that kill and injure road users. The responsibility is passed onto road users to cope with and navigate the built-in risks in the road system.
