I disagree. If it causes an accident due to someone swerving to hit it that is a problem and it should be cleared as quickly as possible. I've seen that exact same thing cause an accident. I've asked the 911 operator if I should call such things in and they have told me that I should and I've asked if there is another number I should call and I've been told no.

I called 911 the other day to report a ladder in the middle of the freeway. My call wasn't answered for over 2 minutes. So Vonage putting someone on hold doesn't seem so bad. I've asked and the 911 operator says it is the correct number to dial to report these things (in Calif).
RunAS Pro - users don't have to know the password for admin/domain admin, etc. App runs with needed priv's: http://mast-computer.com/c_9-l_en.html
I've used it to get a brain dead app used for Trust managment to run without giving users Domain Admin rights.
Another option which I've not tried but looks very nice (and I'm sure is costly) is PolicyMaker from http://www.desktopstandard.com/ApplicationLevelSec urity.aspx
Basically you tell management they must SPEND more money so that you can manage the app and can maintain security (keep everyone out of HR's stuff, accouting, etc). They just have to deal with it. Hopefully they're smart enough to spend the money on one of these solutions.
