Steve Eimers Documents Unsafe Guardrails

A man named Steve Eimers, known online as the "Guardrail Guy," has spent nearly a decade documenting dangerous and improperly installed guardrails across the United States. He began this work after a guardrail struck and killed his 17-year-old daughter, Hannah Eimers, during a car crash. In 2026, he also challenged roadside camera poles installed by Flock Safety and other companies, arguing that some lacked breakaway technology and independent crash testing. Eimers says his advocacy has helped secure millions of dollars in barrier repairs, and he has drafted model legislation requiring third-party inspections.
