Crashing into an oil tanker would probably be worse for the oncoming vehicle than crashing into a normal vehicle though. Forcing any vehicle into oncoming traffic is dangerous design.
Edit: people down voting truth and common sense. 🤷♂️ Cool.
In my area MOST small residential roads will already require semis to turn into oncoming in order to make tight turns - this is not uncommon, and a reason there’s additional licensing for those vehicles. They have a wide turning radius and should know where and how to make that maneuver safely.
There’s nothing wrong with this setup - speaking as a civil engineer in road design.
Typically, civil engineers are the only ones who can stamp drawings, and the ones who take legal responsibility for the design. But I know there are some jurisdictions where eng techs can ‘design’ and take some level of responsibility, so wanted to leave that door open.
Something tells me you’re not in road design though, regardless of title.

Are you a civil engineer or technician?

No lol, I’m not in road design. I am a civil engineer, however.
