The problem here is not the app. People need to understand that the road /is/ public! Your neighborhood does /not/ own the road - everyone does. IMO, The solution to the problem of conjestion is opening of carpool lanes to all travelers, aggressive clearing accidents, creation of visual barriers (blinds) to accidents, and above all global acceptance of driverless systems.

The next thing we need to do is change the language of the road to "incidents" instead of "accidents". An accident implies that there is no way to avoid the outcome of an incident. An incident implies that a traffic collision has occurred. Once we rule out human error or any other cause for the incident, then it becomes an accident. We will find that many of the traffic collisions that we are currently referring to as accidents could have been prevented in many ways:

- remove vast amounts of human error by automating driving and being much more strict for driving infractions (Inattention, reckless driving, DUI)

- infrastructure that encourages speeding / leaves no options for pedestrians or cyclists causing incident hotspots.

This will allow us to focus on the safety issues that really are accidents, and usually caused by poor maintenance on vehicles and infrastructure.
