Looks like the perfect intersection for a proper roundabout. That should prevent any head-on collision to the home. Would also have the added benefit of making the whole interaction safer.
I still can’t believe how often cars drive in to buildings and how nothing changes in North America.
“We’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas!” is the carbrain response to every problem.
Commercial places often put concrete decorative boulders, residentials decorative rocks or boulders or a planter w/ a low retaining wall.
You learn when you get older here, things don’t get fixed, not because they cost too much, but because it isn’t good in the long run for capitalism.
I would bet cancer could be cured, but then there is no money coming in for the treatments.
The situation is an easy fix, I don’t know enough about traffic to know it, but something is preventing it, most likely someone’s pockets getting filled.
Man, American drivers are incredibly shit.
Chicken-bleep mother-froggers! Lol
Edit: There was a house in my hometown who had a similar problem, though a country road with a 90° turn. They put giant boulders in front of the house too.
Some distant friends of mine were racing down the country road in two cars trying to be the first to make the 90° turn. It went as expected and one car hit the boulder, launched in the air, hit the garage, went through the car in the carage and came to rest in the bedroom. Luckily everyone walked away, including the man in the bedroom who sleeps naked.
The moral of the story is it is good to have idiot friends, so you have a collection of fun stories to share over beers.
I know of one spot near me that’s been hit three times.
It’s hardly a bend, but what will get people is the slight rise in the road before it. You don’t notice it at 35 (or even 45) , but if you’re reckless and over compensate when your weight comes back down you end up in their living room.
Get a few raised beds with stone walls holding them up, added bonus is that it looks nice
Still likely have to replace the wall every time. Better than home repairs but still a huge pain.
Or sink some Czech hedgehogs partway into concrete. Doesn’t look nice though.
I think that’s the ticket. The county should install anti car raised beds. I know they can find someone who knows how because every US embassy has them.
And it should be a roundabout.
Absolutely no shot of the street leading to his house. Great reporting.
Not able to get home assurance is wild, free market must be nice though
