Estimated word count: 4080 text. November 2003 Washington State Cable Median Barrier In-Service Study Doug McClanahan Washington State Department of Transportation Richard B. Albin Washington State Department of Transportation John C. Milton Washington State Department of Transportation ABSTRACT Since 1989, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Engineers (AASHTO) Roadside Design Guide has contained information on a cable median barrier design that mounts the middle cable on the back side of the posts so that it can contain and redirect vehicles that strike the system from either side. Cable median barrier has been tested in accordance with NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 3. However, there are only a couple of studies that have been performed on the in-service performance of this system. This report documents Washington’s experience with cable median barrier by analyzing its initial installation cost, maintenance costs, maintenance experiences, and accident history before and after installation. The report is based on accident and maintenance report data associated with 24.4 total miles of cable median barrier located in three distinct locations along Interstate 5 (I-5).

    CDOT Cable Barrier Guide 2017

    August 18, 2017 CDOT Cable Barrier Guide COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CABLE BARRIER GUIDE 1.0 SUMMARY AND DESCRIPTION 1.1 Summary High-tension cable barrier consists of steel wire cables mounted on weak steel posts and is used to prevent vehicles from crossing medians into opposing traffic lanes or to contain roadside departures. Cable barrier is cost effective to install compared to rigid or semi-rigid barrier systems and tends to result in less severe damage to the impacting vehicle. Cable barrier does not act as a windbreak, and therefore will not cause snow drifting. 1.2 Description CDOT uses a type of high-tension cable barrier that consists of pre-stretched cables mounted on lightweight steel posts and tightened to several thousand pounds of tension. High-tension cable barrier can be placed in long run lengths. The run length is the distance of cable barrier between end anchors. The run length may be limited by the presence of median openings or obstacles such as structures, median columns, etc. High-tension cable barrier is installed by CDOT using concrete footings in which metal tubes are cast to form sockets for the posts. The socket allows a post to be replaced with relative ease during repairs. The damaged post is removed from the socket and replaced with a new post. This eliminates the need for specialized post driving equipment and subsurface utility location for each repair. High-tension systems can be used on slopes of 4:1 and flatter. CDOT requires FHWA approved cable barrier meeting performance criteria in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350, Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features, for Test Level 3 to be allowed on high speed highways.

The next section (General Barrier Design Considerations) contains guidance common to ALL barrier types, such as deflection distance, length of need and sight distance. The remaining sections present design information organized by specific barrier type (beam guardrail, cable barrier, etc.). Refer to the Glossary for many of the terms used in this chapter.
