Abstract:The ODOT Research Unit is currently evaluating a cable median guardrail installed on Interstate 5 between Brooks and Donald. The intent of this median application is to reduce the incidence of serious injuries and fatalities by preventing crossover accidents. The three-strand cable guardrail in place is a flexible barrier system that gradually redirects an impacting vehicle by elastically stretching the cables, thus minimizing the forces on the vehicle and its occupants.
