The problem with the fog in that part of the Central Valley is that it's highly variable in opacity. You can drive and think you are seeing a mile ahead, and for a long time you are, and then suddenly there is a denser pocket and you don't know you are blind to what's coming.
Definitely the kind of place that would massively benefit from high-speed rail.
Not to fight your point, (totally agree, fuck cars) but everywhere could benefit from local rail.
Very true. I was just making a dig at the freezing of the planning and construction of the high speed rail line there.
It's reminds me of those Blues Brothers scenes where the police vehicles just keep on piling up.
Accidents when foggy/snowy/... happen everywhere but I've never heard of these big pileups anywhere outside of the US. Really makes me wonder what's going on in their heads when conditions are bad.
