Could Your Crossover Accident Have Been Prevented?
A median barrier is a device that is placed in a highway median to prevent drivers from accidentally crossing into opposing traffic. A cable barrier is a particular type of median barrier constructed out of cables, as opposed to concrete ("Jersey") or other types of median barriers.
When cable barriers are designed and installed correctly, they can save lives by preventing head-on collisions while dampening the force exerted on vehicles that are driven into them.
When cable barriers are poorly designed and too weak to withstand impacts, installed improperly or otherwise defective, they can significantly increase the risk of serious accidents.
Unfortunately, cable barriers that were not adequately tested have been installed in many Arizona locations. Crash testing and evaluation would make sure they actually work. As a result of this inadequate testing, hundreds of accidents have occurred over the past few years that could have been prevented.
