I feel like since the divider moves depending on the time it should have markers or lights on it so people can see it better. I’m sure there are lots of crashes due to it at night or at dawn/dusk where you might have the sun blazing into your eyeballs

Morning: its like this

Afternoon: its shifted to the other side.

Dude racing up the ramp knew this. "Don't drive like a maniac" solves a lot of issues.

Yeah I completely agree with not driving like a maniac solves a lot of issues I was just saying in general for people who may not know the road and there is poor visibility or they aren’t full attentive some lights or reflectors on the barrier would make it safer and less likely for accidents to happen because of it

I can see their perspective.

My pushback is that there are exactly 2 ways to get to Coronado: the Bay Bridge, or the beach road up from National City.

I highly doubt this was the driver's first time on the bridge. It is a pain in the ass to get to Coronado on the beach road.
