I think it's going to be a more frustrating and unsafe proposal. As a commercial driver. I see only a bottle neck situation. Hwy 11 is a major route. It would be like blocking 1 lane here and there on hwy 400. Its going to cause traffic waves down the road. We see the effects from the traffic lights in Temiskaming Shores and North Bay. The biggest thing I'm worried about is when there's a accident and traffic is stuck and stopped. How will emergency/service vehicles go to the scene. Will they need to rush against traffic risking lives to try and safe others. Is this barrier removable to turn traffic back to safety? Also are the barrier going to be more solid the the ones we have now on the side of the road. Lots of them get taken out by trucks and even passenger vehicles. I think it would need to be a wall a foot wide and 6 feet high to keep vehicles in their lanes. Also how is it going to impact wild life crossing. Are they going to be confused and stand in the dark in the travail lanes. The only positive things is most of the accident should stay in that lane and hopefully its going to add more passing lanes to improve traffic flow. I know, I'm governed at 98 kmh and I do disrupt traffic flow and causing road rage to other drivers. Thanks MTO
