"In 2013, Caltrans opened the Tom Lantos Tunnels, which bypassed a particularly treacherous stretch of the highway and promised to make the road safer. Yet, at least 9 people have died in accidents in the area around and just south of Devil’s Slide since the tunnels opened, according to the California Highway Patrol and Bay Area news reports. Today, according to Caltrans, this section of roadway has an accident rate more than 50% higher than the statewide average for similar highways. Now, the state transportation agency is considering a new series of barriers along Highway 1 in the area near Devil’s Slide in an effort to curb accidents and prevent deaths."
