Cable Guardrails

Cable Guardrails - Federal Highway Administration - Video VH-2C - Cable guardrail systems are snowdrift-resistant, more aesthetic than solid-beam systems, and relatively low-cost. This video presents a potpourri of recent research and variations on the basic G1 guardrail. Flanged-channel posts, transitions between cable and w-beam barriers, wooden posts, modified terminal anchors, and low-cost installations for low volume roads are shown onsite and in crash tests.

The crash test performance for vehicles acceptable, and it seems cable guardrail is economical due to their light weight. However, it's really not friendly with motorcyclist.

[@lithium25693]

if motorcyclist don't care about their own lives riding on those death machines. Why should any one else

[@rapierlynx]

Not worse than weak post w-beam. The posts hurt the motorcyclists more then the cables or rails.

[@GetInGarage]

would not want to hit one with a motorcycle

[@rapierlynx]

Cable barriers are not really any worse than standard steel W-beam guide rail - 41% chance of a fatal or severe injury either way - www.sbes.vt.edu/gabler/publications/Daniello-Gabler-TRR-2011-Effect_of_Barrier_Type_in_Motorcycle_to_Barrier_Collisions.pdf

[@3wGaming]

what about low wedge super cars?

[@wesleyverity7310]

Cars are a lot bigger now, how does this effect the design of new rails and safety of existing rails?

[@rapierlynx]

Crash tests use pickups and economy cars, which covers the extremes of most private vehicles.
