edit: The 'except RTOL' comment was only to pre-emptively fend off the BL defenders comment that installing RTOLs is a better approach. But it is not a practical approach as I can't see a national guidelines that says that every intersection (including driveways) must have a RTOL. Plus it still leaves open the increased chance of not being noticed and getting left hooked.
