ABSTRACT:
A guardrail for roadway has a row of a plurality of steel posts secured in a row to the ground outside and along one side edge of a roadway, such as a shoulder of the roadway or a median strip between roadways. In the case where the posts are disposed along the shoulder of a roadway, each post has an inverted "L" shape providing an arm extending from the top of the post towards an adjacent lane of the roadway. A network of cables is provided to extend between the outer ends of the arms of respective posts and the ground in the shoulder of the roadway. The network is formed by supporting cables each extending between the outer end of one arm and an anchor secured to the ground in the shoulder and lateral or horizontal cables secured to the supporting cables. Each supporting cable is inclined at an angle downwardly and forwardly of the movement of vehicles on the roadway. In the case where the posts are disposed on the median strip, each strip has either "T" or "Y" shape.
