Do your highways not have K rails and catch fences or concrete retainer walls?

People have heart attacks at the wheel, pass out, or fall asleep without safety barriers things get terribly messy at highway speed. A few years back we had a car leave the road on a motorway at 70mph and roll over a safety fence, down an embankment and into a fully loaded commuter train killing quite a few people. Since then all railway bridges have full high K rails or concrete retaining walls where motorways cross them.
