I’m a pool guy I drive on this road almost everyday. This is a road I have always said something like this is going to happen. The drivers that are on this road go at least 15 over at a minimum speed limit is 45 and everyone does at least 60. The bridge is also located at the bottom of a twisty desert road. The saddest thing about this is that about 70% of the people driving and speeding on this road are law enforcement officers. The homes they live in are at the top of the hill.

Was kind of expecting this to be relevant lol.

It's a job that likely entails a lot of driving around their community, so it's a little relevant. They may be driving this road at different times of day as well. That probably makes a good sample of experiences from which to draw their conclusions.

Can confirm. Was a pool guy in the 1980s, I knew the LA/Orange county grid like the back of my hand when I was done 2 years later. Drove all over the place at least 4 hours per day from pool to pool. Thomas Guides for the win.

As a guy who lives right behind where this accident occurred(and hiked the hill to look down on it Saturday), I call BS on almost everything you say except the 'everyone does 60'. There's 1 'twist/shift' before the bridge heading northbound(incident occurred on SB side, right about along the halfway point of it). Loosely according to your stats 70% of EMR residents are LEO. Umm, no.
