Hazards Of The Road From Gore Areas To Guard Rails
Joseph Linko, a 49 year old Bronx resident, photographed dangerous road conditions for four years. His 3,000 pictures, reviewed by the U S Bureau of Public Roads, show gore areas where exits meet highways four times deadlier than other lanes. Concrete lamp stanchions and sharp guard rails often trap or shove vehicles toward bridge piers, while costly signs on stout stanchions sit near overpasses. Linko says such hazards exist coast to coast and that fixes could save many lives.
