Cable Guardrails

Federal Highway Administration Video VH-2C Cable Guardrails 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.
