That is unless it’s a borrow pit ditch. Like highway 2 between Havre and Chithook. More white crosses in the ditch than mile markers. Road condition or those that travel that road?

Those are for the folks that died after crashing. If the ditch didn’t get them the approaches will.

... Driving in Orlando and Tampa/Clearwater has been an adventure. On the way to the airport, a Honda Accord driver decided he was in the need of our lane to make a right turn. Nearly hit us. Very close. ... An acquaintance was in Tampa ~10 years ago. Elderly driver decided he wanted to drive on her portion of the sidewalk. She nearly died. LONG time in the hospital. And then in rehab. Not sure that she ever fully recovered.

I would bet that a lot of the deaths would’ve have happened if the ditches and approaches had some taper to them. As to why they hit the ditch, distracted driving, and drunk driving would be the leading causes. Two way traffic, and up until a few years ago, no passing lanes certainly claimed some lives . Get a wheel over the shoulder and there isn’t much chance of recovery. On another note. Do you have a place up at Hudson Bay Sk?

But I think a fair amount of the problem on that stretch is distracted and impaired drivers. As to Hudson Bay, SK, no. We have a cabin up in northern sk north of PA and La Ronge

Was chatting with a fellow from Montana last fall at the hardware store in The Bay. He had a cabin North of town and hadn’t been up to it since pre Covid. Drove a ford power stroke, thought it might have be you.
