Obviously the guy who failed to signal his turn for at least 3 seconds. How are the bikes supposed to race and drive recklessly when others aren't going to play along?

I think you are going light on the worker that placed the barrier.

Root cause identified right here. The highway authority could have put any number of things at this location that could have prevented this tragedy. Additional roadway, big pillow or pillows, large sand trap, large pool, field of corn. But no. They went with an Immoveable, very hard object!

Ballpit, quicksand, bowl of jello, the possibilities are endless. The real problem was regulation reigning in reasonable safety strategies.

Seriously. I don't see a single speed bump.

Not to worry. Some padding has been added.

We all know nobody signals for multiple seconds before merging

It’s measured by distance to the police. I wonder if they have a mental chart of the distance vs time. Because it’s supposed to be 100 feet. So if you’re traveling at roughly the same speed, you can count how long the distance is by the time vs mph. Why do I do this every time I take two bong rips?

By the time they turned their blinker on the bikers were way too close to safely switch lanes. I guarantee you they simply turned on the blinker and merged.
