There have been crashes at that spot, over and over, since before the highway was rebuilt. It's always been bad. It's too twisty to be able to do much, and if you go too quick, you have no choice but to cross the centre line in order to maintain control. I've done it myself.. it's a bad spot.

don't go too quick then? I was doing 50 on that corner and it was fine, not twisty at all at slow speeds.
I think the problem is, yes the speed limit should be raised in certain areas, because people are too numb to signs. there seems to be a need for a "seriously slow the fuck down around here"
it's one of my favourite highways, well built, good turns, smooth road and great scenery... yes accidents do happen, sometimes they're unavoidable variables and sometimes it's driver error
the problem comes down to common sense, I'm not sure what the limit on that corner is but you're not obliged to go that fast, go with what speed you're comfortable with and there's no passing to anyone behind you can sit and wait until it opens up again (where it's safe to pass because it usually straightens out). basically I'm just annoyed at anyone who complains it's too twisty, next time put it in first gear keep it there the entire stretch, tell me how twisty and exciting it is.
