| That looks dangerous to me. It looks as though the camber is all wrong at the bend from the photo. A sign saying 'dangerous bend' would make the road planners look stupid but there should be some sort of warning. A clue is the holes in the wall of course should make you wonder why they are there.

| No road is any more dangerous than any other - it is an inanimate object that can't be dangerous to anyone. However, let enough stupid drivers down any road and they will find ways to kill themselves. No such thing as a dangerous road. So why do some roads have a markedly worse accident rate than o... |
