      I came to the comments to make the same point. Idiotic to drive like that at any time, double idiotic to do it while taking about driving safely. Some folks are so unaware of themselves.

      Game Head So why surprised that GG bridge don't have a barrier when you never been there to begin with?

      jetli80 Because all bridges, tunnels and highways should have barriers.

      Game Head Nope, its more cost effective to build a 6 lane way and move the barrier depending on need. 4 lanes into city during rush hour then switch to 4 lanes out of city during evening hour

    "They get just 5 mpg"
    So? If they're going one mile each direction and the divider is changed twice a day, that's only 2/5 of a gallon used per day.

    5 mpg you can get a electric version of it since it stays on the bridge forever

    So, the nets.. I mean the design as shown here makes it possible for the person to simply crawl over to the edge and continue their fall if they so choose right? Are the nets' entire principle simply to give one a second chance to think it over after making their first choice in support of suicide? (Kinda like being a New Jersey Nets fan).

    • @donluchitti
      @donluchitti 10 лет назад

      ***** that would be the one. I imagine that involves the net going vertical though so they can't even jump. OH I can imagine the complaints already about the view being obstructed.

    a $30 million movable barrier system (Good...) Vs one F-35A [combat aircraft] US$114M (maybe not good)!!!
    I will not go into the subject of "right to defend itself"... however, there should be "money management"... . Thus, if the above movable barrier system do work or at least reduced the issues mentioned in the vid, I say a good investment.
    If a nation can buy a US$114M combat aircraft, how hard is it to buy this stuff! 'Duh', about time.
    A lot to say, cheers who understood what I am hinting on. LOL

      Sophisticated technology refers to a usage or interpretation of technology that's brand new and packaged well enough to be considered a new stand-alone technology.
      Which is to say, this counts just as much as a new sophisticated CPU design can exist even though it's just a bunch of silicone rearranged and cut to achieve more power.

    first off just put in the barriers and leave them. the truck is stupid and doing nothing.
    second if someone wants to jump off a bridge and die they should be aloud. im very sure they are already a burden or not even a predictive member of society.
