What would you suggest Caltrans do instead, other than replace the attenuator more often?
I can think of various other things that Caltrans can place there for people to crash into, but at some point there will be the start of a rigid wall.
- estebank 7y agoThe repeatable problem suggests a lapse in the current layout. The fact that a new crash happened within two weeks suggests that replacing the attenuator should have happened faster than that. That being said, I'm only pointing out that in this case there can be extra variables to account other than the car manufacturer and the driver, the same way that when people speeding, running stop signs and pedestrians not paying attention when crossing an intersection can all result in a collision there is always also a bit of missing urban planning that could have helped avoid the situation in the first place. I believe the same would be true of this case.
