It is obvious that roads are designed by people who don't drive

It's been improved a little now, but I remember the first time I went to Oxford after they bus-laned the top of Botley Road. The signs were very clear, and directed you to a point where it was no right or left turn, and only buses could go forwards...
Locally, they put "traffic calming" near the primary school. It was over due, but the way they did it was utterly retarded. You now have to go on the wrong side of the road at a blind bend. As a direct result of these what these morons did, where there were previously no accidents in over 30 years there have now been 3 that I've witnessed in the last six months.
Another local roundabout (Sixfields) was built with over 9000 sets of traffic lights. The result? People saw the light go green and drove on, not noticing the red light a few feet away. A few million pounds of our money later, there are now only a few hundred lights. Although... they've made up for it by sticking lights on the dual carriage way where people still do 70mph, which will inevitably lead to a side-on collision which will kill or seriously injure someone.
If I can see it coming, why can't they??? Learn to F*cking drive before you start designing road layouts!!
