Once again, I re-iterate that I consider that this

everyone is baying for blood, take serious action.
There's no specific
reason not to treat things on a case by case basis.
And it's not
"unfair", because if the "next time" is worse, then
it deserves to be
treated differently.
Things have a way of setting precedent whether we want
them to or not. If nothing else, letting this stand
without some sort of response has the effect of
setting the precedent that future cases will be
handled after-the-fact as well.
We don't need to do anything until after a major
problem has already happened? We don't need to do
anything unless some future case turns out to be a
problem?
We don't need to fix the intersection until people
actually die in an accident?
I don't think we necessarily need to make a formal
policy about this, but we should make it very clear
that this sort of behavior requires _prior_ discussion
and consensus.
