Why don't we test the system on a Nascar track? I like seeing the pile ups. Roads need texture and bituminous pavements excel in that regard. Why do you think they stop racing when the track is wet. Who is going to pay for all the lawsuits when people start driving on glass?
Leave it to the government to fund that study. It's a waste and the grantees should be ashamed for accepting the grant. The next study will probably look into paving our roads with gold or building another two mile "Big Dig" such as the one in Boston at $15,000,000,000.
If the government wants to fund a study for solar capture sound barriers along the highways, that might make sense. A tilted barrier for optimal solar capture would probably have greater sound attenuation than the current vertical walls.
Or what about an embedded grid that would capture heat from the pavement and return it in a snow storm?
