| 摘要： | The annual carnage resulting from vehicle-utility pole collisions is a national tragedy that can be practically eliminated. Roadside safety technology is available and has been available for many years to treat the problem effectively. However, application of this technology has been thwarted because of deeply ingrained institutionalism that has obscured ownership and accountability of the problem. On the basis of gross fatality and injury numbers, the previous approaches to solving the problem have produced anemic results and should be deemed failures. It is time for a change, a major change. To lead this mandate for change, professional engineers from both highway and utility organizations can and should be the principal driving force because of their common ethical and moral responsibility of holding paramount the health, safety, and welfare of the public. |
