Just watching the news and see the third head on collision this week because of a drunk going the wrong way on the major highways here in the GTA.
How hard would it be to put those "one way only" spikes on all the on/off ramps? Seriously, it makes so much sense and wouldn't be hard to do.

What's to stop someone who is drunk enough from still going ahead? I've seen drunk drivers do pretty stupid things...

Well I agree with you 100% If it means saving lives, it seems very simple as well.

It shouldn't be that much of a problem, just like train tracks you lift just a little bit plus all plows rest on skies so they should float over.

The only problem with that would be if there is a MAJOR collision emergency crews would not be able to just the thing they want to stop. I have seen in a couple instances an ambulance and fire truck going against traffic flow to get to a wreck on the hiway.
I am all for the idea. It would also stop the morons that back up the ramp to get out of traffic.

I'm all for the roadside suspensions and impounding for those who have successfully evaded Darwinism for more than 10 years and have a record of being pylons behind the wheel.
Get the s*** off the roads and stop giving them licenses! :angry:
