You're asking the wrong question...why does a 70 year woman old or anyone for that matter, have to make a tactical decision about crossing a 2 lane highway with cars going 65-75mph in both directions? This scenerio will always be a recipe for disaster.
You're saying everyone who tries to cross there is a recipe for disaster? Some driving maneuvers difficult and require careful thought and planning. This crossing can be executed without much difficulty by a competent driver with reasonable reaction times and good vision. If you want something far more difficult, try sitting at the end of an on-ramp on I-17 because of a Yield sign, trying to merge with traffic flowing at 80-100+ MPH. Far more difficult wouldn't you say? Or try turning left out from a parking lot at ASU during breaks between classes. If you are in a passenger car, you are absolutely blind to traffic coming from the right. Combine this with traffic that wants to turn into the parking lot you're trying to exit and you're either going to have to make a blind turn or wait there for 15-20+ minutes.
People that think driving on 347 is difficult need to take driving courses. |
