I’ve driven under that trestle many times and even during the sunlight of a cloudless midday, the underpass is dark and the trestle islands are poorly marked. Further, the grey paint scheme easily blends into the street background. Of course, her speeding probably didn’t help the situation any, but the city should really improve the visibility of structures like this; had she seen it better maybe she would have been quicker on the brakes and a tragedy could have been avoided.
