They all look fine to me. Drivers are drifting because they don't pay attention in that area, which is why they were put up in the first place. The complaints are specifically saying "I am a bad driver."

    If you think through the situation you’ll realize the barriers are just ramps at normal driving speeds. So a car in the air without any human control makes the entire situation more dangerous than a real barrier or just fold over markers. Removing control from the 3000lb machine is the worst possible outcome from a system like this.

    1. Those barriers are 6" high. On planet earth, you're not going airborne no matter how hard you hit them.

    2. The barriers also have fold over markers with them.
