There would be the difference between colliding with an "almost" immovable object (wall) versus colliding with a vehicle that has some semblance of a crush zone. I don't know how much that difference would be.

As I recall, mythbusters did the whole two cars head on vs one car and an immovable wall.  Seemed like there was no difference.

Yes I would rather have a collision with another car at the difference in speed than the combined speed of the two….

Huh….never heard them called Jersey Barriers before.

Apparently the slope on the bottom is to make your tires ride up so you redirect back into your own lane (though possibly flipped over) whereas a flat wall might make you flip into the oncoming lane.

Fun stuff.

Same, california name for them.   Always remembered that name from the movie "Volcano"

            I'm sure you could design some bollards that wouldn't
            allow a tractor trailer through your fence 😁

                I think we are going to install a larger shelter,

                I don’t see the brown stain marking where you were
                standing before the car arrived.
