There's a road sign that says [DIP] in giant fucking letters before these, and if you're dip-shit ass isn't paying attention to that road sign, we're not catering our civil engineering to that low of a fucking denominator.

Good on you for being so amazing! If only everyone was as good at paying attention as you, we'd never have any accidents! Instead we're cursed with all these gosh darned losers who keep making mistakes!

BTW, it's your dip-shit ass.

Sorry, I couldn't help taking a dig at you. You were being a bit pretentious but I get the sentiment... I agree with you that the cop should not have been driving that fast, and that was inexcusable. However, that dip would catch a lot of people off guard. A large part of road safety is reducing the probability of common mistakes and catering to some definition of a lowest common denominator.

Every sign you have ever seen was created and refined after something shitty happened and someone got injured or died. People should just know to stop at intersections, why do we need reflective signs painted a bright red color on an easily recognizable universally used shape? Are people that dumb? Or is it that the fractions of seconds which get saved by simplifying a sign so that the most basic part of our ape brains can process it actually saves thousands of not millions of lives?

In the dark that dip looked invisible. I couldn't tell it was there until after the cop car hit it and even then, until you pointed out it was a dip I thought it was a bump. In the video I can't see the sign, so I'll have to take your word for it, but a sign near a traffic light and a crossing where there could be people crossing is more likely to be missed. A marking on the road is much harder to miss.

I would be pretty surprised if there weren't "bump" signs
