I think requiring more people & equipment at the scene of an accident would be counterproductive. The treatment of injured persons and quick removal of damaged vehicles would likely be impaired by additional crews trying to set screens. Additionally, the screens would take up more room on the road making the driving lanes narrower. This would slow traffic even more than the rubberneckers, creating a greater traffic hazard.

I think this is a great idea. I live in the Washington DC area and rubbernecking is a huge problem.

I have already seen this being done.

I agree with the other poster that it will take a longer time to clear an accident and more resources to put up a screen.

I think that emergency crews should do drills to clear accidents faster. Kind of like NASCAR in the pits. I am not trying to be funny but I still remember one time in PA on I 83 up by Scranton there was a huge accident and when I finally came close to the accident I saw a group of guys smoking, laughing and drinking coffee. I just shook my head in digust

I think it would make it worse. People would try to see around the screens and figure it out even worse! By putting up a screen, the curiosity increases.

Im pretty sure that an 8 foot skeleton holding a screen would draw alot more attention than the accident itself. LOL
