I don't know if Dan Noyes is researching crashes into barriers in the bay area across the board regardless of vehicle, but if they truly want to improve public safety I think they should cover the spectrum of accidents, how many barrier accidents have there been over say the last 5 years, did they result in injury or death and statistics on that. With that information they might be able to pinpoint the most dangerous areas for drivers and get changes made to those areas by highlighting them in their report and get improvements made to other locations in general. I don't use facebook or twitter so not able to contact Dan Noyes or the I-Team but maybe someone else here might want to do so.
Update: Thought since google maps was dated 10/2017 decided to check out the status of the barrier after the Hayward accident and add it to this post. Shows it was extended after the accident, albeit the front panel is in a partially damaged state. However it apparently had been hit again since the Red MS accident as the damage to the chevron plate is totally different! Wonder if the I-Team knows this.
