Comment on Basics of Concrete Barriers (2000)parent

You’re comparing motorists (who are the vast majority of US road users) to rats needing to be exterminated.

No, I'm comparing America's car culture to a rat infestation; something that causes serious problems and is a problem in its own right. This has nothing to do with the moral standing of individuals drivers...

Which is a ludicrous, fringe viewpoint that verges on trolling when you go out of your way to bring it up in a discussion about safety barriers for motorways.

Your creating safety barriers for another problem though which are car speeds that aren’t regulated enough, and human and vehicle errors.

It's correct nonetheless.
