Joe Gallagher+FollowDead Man’s Curve: Birmingham’s riskiest turn?Every Birmingham driver knows the legend of Dead Man’s Curve—a sharp, elevated turn on I-20 West near the airport that’s notorious for flipping trucks and causing major traffic headaches. Despite new rumble strips, flashing signs, and slower speed limits, crashes still happen, especially to out-of-town truckers unfamiliar with the curve’s bite. The real kicker? The curve’s design is boxed in by a cemetery, making a total redesign nearly impossible. Locals say it’s more than just a curve—it’s a daily gamble. What do you think: Are the current safety measures enough, or does Birmingham need a bigger fix? #Transportation #Birmingham #TrafficSafety10Share
Kevin Nicholson+FollowBaltimore’s new 12mph zones: What’s changing?Baltimore drivers, there’s a big change you’ll notice around school zones—new 12mph speed limits with cameras ready to snap and fine anyone over the limit. The city’s aiming to keep kids safer, especially during busy drop-off and pick-up times. If you’re caught speeding, you’ll get a $40 ticket on the spot, and the fines go up fast the more you speed. Two cameras are already up outside local schools, and the city might add more if this slows traffic. What do you think—will this make our streets safer, or is it too strict? #Transportation #Baltimore #TrafficSafety00Share
