Message: [QUOTE="Mareiniss, post: 3206292, member: 714"] I think the breakaway bar concept could work, but the breakaway bar would have to be a lightweight material like they use for swimming pool "noodles," or a similar lightweight material that would not damage other vehicles. But since the material would have to be lightweight, the negligent/distracted truck driver might not notice that s/he struck the bar. Therefore, the bar would have to be connected to a sensor of some sort that would trigger a more obvious warning down the road, like the flashing lights and barrier bar that are used at some railroad crossings. This type of a system might also make it easier to catch and fine offending truck drivers and their employers, e.g., if coupled with traffic cameras. [ATTACH type="full"]173756[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
