Plan to stop highway deaths doesn’tt have to be expensive

There probably wlll be millions of dollars spent trying to rebuild the highway out of Anchorage. I have one suggestion: The city of Phoenix, Arizona has placed mile after mile of post and cable barricades between lanes on the freeways in their city.

The most critical area on the highway is the many curves and I have traveled it many times. Heavy posts put into the ground in the center of the road in the no passing areas with strong wire cable would serve the purpuse of not allowing the people sliding across into oncoming traffic on a corner, but would in no way block the scenic view of the Turnagain Arm. This may be a too simple a plan and not involve near as much money as the powers that be want to spend on the project.
