Yes, it's a shame there's so much money wasted on advertising and marketing campaigns rather than some real engineering solutions

Engineering solutions applied at 'problem' points on the road network (if that is what you mean, Jon) only help us at those points.
If we were to make more of an effort with road user educational campaigns, we would all cope better, wherever we go, and the need for expensive engineering remedies at specific locations would be greatly reduced.
I would have thought shifting the emphasis thus would be the thing to do, especially when there is a need to cut public spending considerably. Educational campaigns may not be cheap, but I think they could be the more cost effective option.
