High-Tension Cable Barrier

A high-tension cable barrier is a roadway safety solution designed to prevent severe injuries, fatalities, and road crashes caused by vehicles crossing toward the opposing traffic lanes and are highly affective in the median. High-tension cable barriers consist of many wires bundled together to form thick cables with three or four cables connecting each post. Also known as highway safety cables or wire rope safety barriers, they are mounted on posts along median strips or road embankments to separate oncoming traffic. Upon installation on posts, they are tightened to meet tension values ranging from 2,000 pounds to 9,000 pounds.

What Are the Benefits of High-Tension Barriers?

High-tension barriers have long been used as road safety solutions in the United States and worldwide. RoadGuard offers high-quality cable barrier systems for enhanced road safety measures. Some of their benefits include:

  • Cable systems works from either side: High-tension cable barriers deter vehicles from crossing to the other side of the road. Typically installed in the median lanes, they help prevent highway collisions that could lead to more victims and injuries.
  • Mitigating impact from vehicles: Road cable barriers absorb the crashing vehicle's impact upon contact and reduce its speed until it comes to a full stop. This minimizes the damage to the vehicle and results in fewer injuries.
  • Redirecting the vehicle: Most high-tension cable barrier collisions only result in property damage and allow crashing vehicles to drive away. The barrier redirects the vehicle so it stays on course in its original direction, helping prevent it from hitting oncoming traffic.

Ideal Applications of Cable Barrier Systems

While high-tension cable barriers are ideal for highways with high volumes of median crashes, their use isn't limited to road safety. Other applications of steel cable barriers include:

  • Guardrails
  • Pedestrian traffic control
  • Bridge railings
  • Security fencing
  • Anywhere where separating oncoming traffic is needed
