looks like St. Paul has really dumb drivers.

I'm thinking they need to elevate the whole damn thing. Build it right or don't build it at all. Or maybe build it old school, like those parkway street car lines in New Orleans and Boston.

The $billions spent cleaning up the mess from car crashes is one of the many unaccounted costs of assinine concrette projects like the proposed Central Corridor road construction project.

Billions, where is this figure from? The video footage you have is of the light rail system in Houston where METRO (their equivalent of the Met Council) proved the vast majority of accidents were to (auto) driver error. The white van shown twice in this video attempted to turn left where the lane indicated "go straight". How about you blame who is responsible?

Appeal to logic, not emotion

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion or more is spent each year in the U.S. cleaning up the mess from motor vehicle crashes. About 10 years ago, the Institute for Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota published a report that estimated the cost of crashes in Minnesota alone was $1.5 billion. Concerning who to blame, my pick would be the Traffic Engineers who plan, design and build the over-expanded roadways and misrouted rail lines.
