And you say messy accidents, but rogue tyres are much more messy and can cause more accidents then an armco. You say chases will be affected, there is space on the left for people to move out the way, at least when you are going down the road, but then by removing the barriers you are encouraging the chase to go wrong way to pass which can cause a lot of accidents on a road as busy as paddock tunnel way

Because the gas station area is a entry/exit area. It needs armco to differenciate points of turn-in or exit.

Yes, there is space on the inside for one side the road. But the other? Plus, if someone spins out, he/she is contained within the walls of the armcos and the traffic behind are fated to crash or get stuck behind the incident.

I've always felt that a layout (or anything, in particular) should not be continuously updated to be more "safe and noob-proof". It ruins the experience, by basically baby-proofing something to prevent other stuff from happening. Almost like an immediate overreaction.
I always think that coaching and informing others who misbehave is the right way forward. Why mess something up when people can be taught? We have the community, admins and friendly people for a reason.
By noob proofing the roads to 'be one step ahead of offenders', we neglect the simple task of reminding or teaching offenders or newbies of the right way to behave.
Wrongs can be corrected and needless action such as armcoing everything do not need to take place

Remember, that yes, the armcos may be an immediate solution to noobs/offenders/newbies, but those noobs or newbies will still be in the grey and can commit other offenses elsewhere. Not good in the long run.

Not sure if my point will be understood, Adam, but I guess being a long term admin on a noob-filled racing server serves as a lesson for me already..
