[quote:Anonymous Coward 693151:MV84ODE3NzRfMTM2Mzc3OTNfQzQ5NzA1QzM=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 772543] This is happening in a state that is bankrupt. Are they really that concerned with our safety? The new guardrails will cost about $200,000 per mile, including labor and materials, said Nick Schirripa, a spokesman with MDOT in Southwest Michigan. it's to keep you guys from getting off road to avoid the checkpoints [/quote] THey just did a rush job on an interstate north of New Orleans, saying it was to make it safer re: head on collisions, which is total BS as the median is HUGE on this highway. Watching them build a wall that goes for miles when the streets of the city are RUTTED OUT AND RUINED makes no sense at all, unless you consider the fact that they have also recently put cameras in even at the most bumblefuck exits in the middle of nowhere, where they are also resurfacing the hell out of backroads very few people travel. The interstates are perfectly designed to control the flow of the masses, and it's really interesting as there are really only three roads into New Orleans. One of them floods, and two include VERY LONG BRIDGES going over the lake. [/quote]
