From your article, it sounds like speed was a factor in both crashes. I question how high the median should be; are there other reasons they don't build them so high to begin with? For example, on a freeway if the median was too high, emergency crews would have to drive around instead of stopping in the opposite direction when responding to an emergency. Could those precious minutes be the reason?
As I said, I don't know- just throwing it out there that there could be design reasons for the height.
