The Engineer’s Part in Making the Highway Safe
It is difficult to draw an exact line as to where the engineer's responsibility ceases with reference to safety on highways. Because the field is rather broad what is said here should not be questioned with reference to the exact limit of responsibility between any two classes of individuals. Study shows that there are many contributory causes of accidents on highways, although any one accident may have its major source. For example, on a rainy day with the windshield blurred, a driver may have approached, at high speed, a sharp curve having no superelevation, where there were leaves on the wet surface, resulting in his machine skidding off the pavement.
