Today's death at Bow roundabout is at a collision black spot.
That death toll won't be curbed as long as Caltrans lacks a clear legal mandate to identify collision hot spots and build wildlife crossings on highways.
The defensive line positions are the most collision-oriented spots on the field.

In this regard a blind spot collision avoidance mechanism has been presented by Uselmann and Uselmann (2004).
One study by the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has estimated that four of the currently available features - lane departure warning, forward collision warning, blind spot detection and adaptive headlights - could prevent or mitigate one out of every three fatal crashes and one out of every five crashes that result in serious or moderate injury.
We conclude that the following technologies could provide moderate to high benefits to older drivers: lane departure warning; forward collision warning/mitigation; blind spot warning; parking assist systems; navigation assistance; adaptive cruise control, if proper training is provided and it is paired with a FCW system; automatic crash notification; and adaptive headlights.
Options include lane-keeping assistance, forward collision assistance, blind spot detection systems and more.
Its window sticker came to $49,460 with features including a navigation system, upgraded stereo, lane-departure warning, collision warning, blind-spot detection and rain-sensing wipers.
Adaptive cruise control with pre-collision braking, blind spot monitors and a lane-departure monitor are part of a $2,950 Driver Assistance Package.
Driver or vehicle safety information is required in applications offering intelligent transport services like identification of road bends, traffic congestion, accident spots, collision warning, environmental conditions, approaching vehicles, etc.
