Barrier Type - woven-planet/opensafety-mbse GitHub Wiki
There are numerous possible styles of barrier from water filled barricades to short cement curbs to cable fences and so on. We can’t inventory them all, but we can classify them in terms of traversability. You can’t drive through a cement wall, but you can hop over a short curb or plow through a row of bushes if necessary in an emergency.

Is it possible (not necessarily legal) but physically possible to traverse this Barrier Type? This information is helpful in an emergency. When you as a human drive along, say in the innermost lane and bicycle sudden appears in front of you, you may consider the possibility of swerving into the grass. But you would not necessarily swerve into a cement column. For humans at least, in an emergency, the physical traversability of a barrier can be extremely relevant.
Modelers note: I made a similar distinction on a motorcycle fishtailing between a cement median and a soft shoulder at 70mph on Highway 17 in Santa Cruz, California. I am alive and writing this today because, at the last moment of control, I veered to the (relatively) soft ‘traversability’ of the outside shoulder. –LS
Type: [ hoppable | intrusion damage | hard ]
Note: This value set is just an initial guess as to what classifications would be useful.
