Went through on Saturday.The weather was foul.Rain,sleet and snow.Do the authorities really think that a large net will stop a land slide?

Large net to catch rolling boulders - - - liquid keech will flow through --- --- --- WHICH will have the most impact on a passing vehicle ????????????? --------- as an enchineer, I think that the nets are a smart safety device --- BUT NOT a solution ; BUT they were never meant to be one ! -- the 'safety' for all vehicles is is in the slip recorders ---- and WHEN the sponge fills -----slurp !!!!!
