Those might help, definitely worth trying. They look pretty unpleasant to drive on--kind of like armadillos. They had them in Austin too, for the on road section of their....I really don't know what kind of train it was. Maybe they're a Texas thing.
Ironically, they'll probably pose a bigger obstacle to snow clearing than a barrier curb would have.
We do need a way to correct the problems with the current section, but I am also concerned, and want to ensure, that the next section built, is done right. Right now, it seems the engineers (and some politicans) are willing to ignore these problems and keep building a broken design.
