These barriers are put up for sound-proofing reasons. Mostly the barriers are opaque, but one often encounters the glass ones at the points along these routes when they run through towns. Here, the glass barriers provide soundproofing without blocking one’s view of the surrounding cityscape.
- hanniabu 7y agosound-reducing reasons* Sorry for the nitpick, but I live near a highway with one of these barriers and it's in no way sound-proofing.
- tempestn 7y agoWere you able to experience it without the barrier?
- hanniabu 7y agoNo, but with it I can still hear the highway. I'm sure it's certainly not as bad as it is without it, and I'm thankful it's there, but it's still audible. It sounds like it's maybe 2 or 3 blocks away vs right in your back yard.
