What is a Fixed Cable Barrier?
It comprises steel wire ropes attached to weak poles and can be flexible by following terrain or tight corners.
As with any other, the primary function of a fixed cable barrier is to keep a vehicle from leaving the traveled path and colliding with a fixed object or terrain feature that is less forgiving than itself.
Cable barriers can be installed as basic cables and posts or hidden for a more cosmetic look to flow with the landscape.

Keep Critical Infrastructure Safe
How do Cable Barriers Work?
Wire rope safety barriers (cable barriers) are steel-supported wire ropes, also known as flexible barriers or cable fences.
The barriers are intended to slow or halt speeding cars by absorbing their impact, reducing serious off-road and head-on incidents on our roadways.
The method is more forgiving than today’s typical concrete (jersey) or steel barriers, and it remains effective even when put on sloping ground. The system’s flexibility absorbs impact energy and distributes it laterally, reducing the forces transferred to the vehicle’s occupants.
Below is an excellent example by Ameristar of how a fixed cable barrier works.
Advantages of a Cable Barrier System?
Some of the benefits of a cable barrier are as follows:
- It can potentially lessen the severity of collisions, which is critical for high-speed infrastructure.
- It may frequently be installed on existing infrastructure without the delay of lengthy environmental permitting or the price of sophisticated roadway rebuilding that other barrier system options may necessitate.
- Fixed cable barriers do not create an intrusive visible barrier, making them more appealing than other crash-rated barrier systems.
- It enables suitable vehicle containment and redirection while exerting minor deceleration forces on occupants.
- Cable barriers have a low tendency to guide cars back into traffic after being struck, reducing the incidence of secondary collisions.
- The effort (in terms of time and resources) required to maintain and repair a cable barrier system is far less than that needed for a W-beam system.
