Cable Barrier 🚧 A cable barrier is more than just roadside protection — it’s a life-saving system. Built with high-tensile steel wires, it safely redirects vehicles, reducing deadly crashes. Unlike concrete walls, it’s flexible, cost-effective, and proven to save countless lives daily. 🚗💡 Credits:@BrifenCanada /YT,@tacvictoria / YT #RoadSafety #Innovation #LifeSaver #barrier #traffic | OnyN News

Scania's engineers conduct crash tests to improve safety. This time, an installation with 80-litre tanks for compressed natural gas was the one withstanding a heavy side-impact. “We positioned the heavy loaded trailer tractor across the test track. Then we used a steel cable to pull the deformable barrier, representing a passenger car, straight into the side-mounted gas tank installation, simulating a side-collision,” says Dan Loftén, R&D Expert Engineer and responsible for crash and safety test

High-tension cable median barriers consist of four steel cables mounted on metal posts. When a vehicle hits the barrier, the posts break and the cables flex, absorbing much of a crash’s kinetic energy. The cables redirect the vehicle along the median, preventing a cross-median crash and reducing the severity of the crash.
