Talk about a waste of money.

Don't forget that that the amount of traffic in those areas where there is no divider is far less that what is on the I-5. And also the speeds a slower whether due to an enforced speed limit or the design of the road. So yes cross overs do happen. But because there is less traffic your chances of hitting someone else lowers.
