I agree that philly drivers are horrific. I am relatively sure that one will hit and hurt me soon.
That said, the streets, and particularly Kelly Drive are designed to be sped on. It is a death trap and the city has known for years. It has been on the high injury network for years.
It is on the city to provide safe streets. There needs to be major traffic calming. Also bollards. Bollards can be gorgeous as well as functional.

Yeah, that’s the thing about Kelly Drive. You don’t see a lot of minor accidents. They tend to be quite severe.

And all too frequently fatal. There have been three or four deaths at the chicane up by East Falls in the last couple of years, including one accident that shredded the car and left the engine like 100 yards from what was left of the cabin.
