I read that traffic enigineers in the UK value a human life at £1,000,000. So when looking to add traffic safety features, it needs to cost less than £1M per life saved. Don't know the timeframe, 20 years or whatever. Seems hard hearted, but I guess at some point you have to inject a price of a human to decide whether to spend money or not,
