      No, that’s my point. Highways are designed for speed. Stroads are designed badly. The stroad is to blame, not the driver using the stroad in the way that the stroad engineers intended. Blaming the individual driver is just the liberal version of carbrainedness.

      “Highway” does not mean controlled access; you’re thinking of “freeway” or “Interstate.”
