So…I used kurviger for the route planning for an extensive roadtrip last year. The trip ended when I got “nuked” by an SUV (luckily I was in a car and not on a motorbike). I don’t remember the crash, cops couldn’t quite sort it out, whatever. BUT: The cops told my parents (I was busy being in a coma) that the site where I had the accident is a “known racetrack” and that there’s “a crash once a week”.
So I wondered…maybe there’s a way to mark such sites? A warning label when you place a route across it? Similar to how kurviger warns you about tunnels.
As Kurviger is based on OSM - and if a road is tagged - it should be possible. I am not aware of a suitable tag. And it would be required that there are official signs, as anything else is a subjective danger.
There are other warnings like ice on bridges, and more, I would like to see even in Navigation.
The proper sign is round, red circle, and with a number inside on white background.
As here are often requests for speed limit warnings, and apps like “Radarbot, Blitzer Warning” are top ranked in the stores, I am not so optimistic, that an additional warning makes things better.
In the meantime the officials will just close roads for safety or protect the people on weekends from too much noise.
Thanks for your story. Perhaps this changes a little bit.
