Simple changes to improve road safety

Working in the home counties recently, I see lots of little villages and winding roads. What surprises me is that nearly all these roads are set at the national speed limit and there aren't any double-white lines in the middle stopping people from overtaking. So every day I am doing 40 mph around a sharp bend and find someone else overtaking and almost careering into my car!

So some simple steps to cut down road traffic accidents:

• Double-white lines on all roads where there is not a perfect overtaking opportunity, cutting out about 50% of the current overtaking death spots.
• Widen roads by 1 Meter, and use that space to separate the two opposing traffic lanes with a white dash painted area.
• Repaint the white fluorescent markings down the centre of the road regularly, and in particular at junctions (a common location of accidents)
• Fix or replace all broken cats-eyes, too many roads have worn markings and missing cats-eyes.

Easy stuff, and not that costly to save lives, so why isn't it done!?
