Do you you think it would work to do the camera under the bumper for the highway, Or would it prob fall off?

[ShingleCreek]

I think it would work, but I'd be a bit worried about road debris and stones damaging the camera.

@ShingleCreek what type of stand did you use?

I love this vid. Haven't driven this stretch for over 30 years. Love it!

[KayakFreak]

Aaaiiiiii! Sorry, had a flashback there. I've driven this stretch more than I care to remember.

I noticed you offer high quality for this Vid. Can you make some of your Rocky mountain vids in high quality, please? :)

BTW I really appreciate how smooth your camera work is. A lot of road vids are too jerky to follow.  Nice work.

davidreynolds87 - Rural Interstates don't have safety walls if the median is more than 30 feet wide. It was cheaper in the 1960s, when most of the system was constructed, to purchase extra right of way for the median than build concrete walls running the whole length. Remember, the US has 47,000 miles of interstate highways. That's a lot of extra concrete to both pour and maintain.
