Should Sound Barriers Be Placed Between Directional Highway Lanes, Like They Are For Residential Areas?

[Tzefanyahu]

I was in the city today(St. Louis) and there was a traffic jam coming out of the county. The problem was that there was an accident on the OTHER side of the highway, and the gawkers slowed us all down.Would it perhaps be better to put the sound barriers(story tall) dividers between the directions, instead of the upside down concrete T?
