He's complaining about having to turn it into opposing traffic because the road is now too narrow. Then the footage shows him very clearly barely turning the wheel. I've taken sharper turns than that without going on to the opposing lane. This guy just doesn't know how to drive.

If he can't make that turn he both bought too large if a vehicle and also is a shit driver.
"it was intended to make roads safer, but one guy told us it's done just the opposite"
Okay, so I guess that one guy being angry is the opposite of safety.
"I'm going to drive recklessly out of spite!"
- yes, those gigantic trucks need to fuck right off (the expert also essentially said that)
- it is meant to make people drive slower and more carefully. If they don't do that then yes, that means more accidents
- good project but in my country those 2 poles every 100 yards or so wouldn't be enough. Yes, it costs a little more to implement this properly
Going forward they should do it think it through,
mutes audio for the rest of the sentence
I've never heard of a city making a road less safe with the intention of slowing down traffic.
Depending on how you frame it, that happens all the time. For example, a speedbump causes speed reduction, but at high speeds it causes (momentary) loss of control. Or narrowing the road, which means less margin for error.
People will drive their cars as fast as feels safe. By introducing hazards, you make people slow down which increases safety, but each feature in isolation could be said to be dangerous in some way, y'know?
Look to Europe then. Roads here have less width compared to USA to force you to focus. Or roundabouts which also make the crossing less safe...if you try to keep your speed.
Both end up making roads safer by slowing you down and forcing you to focus.
You either make driving fast less safe, or you put a speed camera on every corner with the appropriate punishment. Cameras are expensive, and drivers will complain about them. If you make driving fast less safe, only the ones that remember how the road was before can complain about it.
