I'VE NOTICED ON THE FREEWAYS OF LOS ANGELES THE CENTER DIVIDER IS TOO SHORT, CAUSING EXTREME GLARE FOR THE CARS ON THE FIRST LANE. THIS IS TRUE ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE SIDE IS A CAR AND THE OTHER SIDE IS A SUV OR TRUCK. AND ITS EXTREMELY IRRITATING WHEN THE FREEWAY STARTS TO CURVE TO THE RIGHT OF LEFT PUTTING DRIVERS ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST LANE AT RISK. AT TIMES ITS BLINDING AND AT HIGH SPEEDS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE DEADLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN GLARE CAN OUT SHINE A BRAKE LIGHT. I WOULD SUGGEST RAISING THE CENTER DIVIDER AT LEAST 2 FEET EVERYWHERE, BUT IF THAT ISN'T FEASIBLE, AT THE VERY LEAST RAISE IT 2 OR MORE FEET, IN THE CRUCIAL AREAS SUCH AS A CURVE IN THE FREEWAY, A DIP OR A HILL. THANKS FOR LISTENING.*AK
