they're putting up 3 strand high-tensile wire along the median to keep cars from crossing into on coming traffic. The issue is that now emergency vehicles can only turn around in designated areas, emergency workers can't cross the median on foot as easily. And as in a recent case, a car that would NOT have gone into on coming traffic nor cause major damage to itself (experts say) rolled over multiple times after bouncing off these wires and losing control.
There is a 5 mile stretch near Benton Harbor that in the last few years cost over a Million dollars to maintain due to sheared posts and rusty/broken wires.
Woohoo :thumbup:
They have these wires up on I94 in Minnesota and I think they actually do serve a purpose. I have seen cars up against it that would have definitly went to the other side into oncoming traffic.
pants on the ground! pants on the ground!
