Shifting the entire commuting population into surface streets, with a significantly higher accidents/mile rate than the highway, is also not a good approach. It's kinda crazy to me how much people will ignore externalities because fuck the beltway or something.

I would bet $1000 that shitting shutting(!) down the beltway would cause a greater loss of life, via delays for emergency vehicles, than these guard rails will cause in the time it takes to inspect and replace them.
