Chris Davis’ Legal Comments: What a fabulous idea! Rainier Avenue has become a dangerous roadway in recent years. The billboards are a great idea and will remind drivers how devastating a car accident can be. I’ve seen photographs of accidents occurring at speeds as low as 25-35 mph where the damage is fairly substantial. In one case I handled, the speed was only 25 mph, but the impact caused my client’s car to roll over onto its hood. She later developed a herniated disc in her low back and she’s had ongoing problems ever since. I think SDOT’s billboard idea should also be copied by WDOT so that many more of the billboards can be seen on our state highways and those roadways that are fairly congested.
