Median barriers should be mandatory on roads with a speed limit of 55 MPH or greater.

Hello California
>not being able to pass on the entirety of the interstate system
Either learn to stop being a scaredy faggot or sell your car

>passing in the opposite direction of travel when you have a passing lane

this
who cares.
at those kinds of speeds, if someone hits that thing hard enough, it'll just fly over it onto the other side like they usually do.
>>14653769
Disregard that I suck cocks. Yes this would be a fucking idiotic idea.

You a pussy?

Naw. They're a luxury item except on toll roads.

they are not to prevent solo vehicle accidents they are to prevent high speed head ons. There is a road California Highway 152 where head ons were very common and usually resulted in a fatality. They installed barriers on the entire single lane stretch (15+ miles). It does stop most accidents from being fatal but you sometimes get stuck behind a RV doing like 40 mph on a 55 mph road. So i guess it is the trade of for being less likely to die, if your into that.
So you could never pass anyone on a highway?

Passing lanes remedy that.
>on roads with a speed limit of 55 MPH or greater.

Where do you get the money to build passing lanes on every highway in the country?
>>14654049
Is it paved? Is it for public use?
It should have a barrier.
>>14653717
Ain't nobody gon pay fo dat
>>14654056
The money saved from medical costs of drivers injured in head on collisions.
>>14654057
Did your mom use of these?
>>14654062
People are willing to pay for things that make them safer.
>>14654077
On what planet?
lol feels threads

>Not just passing on the shoulder
Pussy
>>14654077
Maybe soccermoms will but the vast majority of drivers most likely wouldn't care to support that idea.
>>14654093
Earth.
>>14654107
I disagree. We're living in the most safety conscious time yet. If they won't now, they will in the future.
>>14654194
No they won't. there isn't enough room on most roads with speeds over 55mph.

Concrete barriers are only a few inches wide. They can be (and are on some roads already) placed directly over the double yellow lines.
