When Kilauea was making news for erupting, I showed my (now ex) partner a photo of the lava flow over the road with hazard barriers to keep people away.

Her response was to ask why they didn't just divert the flow away from where people are.

They actually do that with earth barriers sometimes, e.g. at the Aetna.

But there is only so much these barrier can do...

I mean yeah, why instead of writing "people stay away" don't they just put "lava stay away"?
