I would say its not that people don't notice. It's one of the following:

- They don't care as it is now "somebody else's problem."
- What are they going to do?

And with respect to the second one, can they really do anything? Stopping immediately could cause a serious accident. Taking the next exit and going back- do you really want to be playing "Frogger" on Deerfoot to go get your $100 ladder that may or may not already be damaged beyond use?

Of course the responsible thing would be to call somebody to remove the debris. But who? And in my mind, that is the problem. There is no signage anywhere on Deerfoot telling you where to call to report debris or other issues on the freeway.
