 Keeping Traffic on the Right Side of the Road, January/February 2005 Public Roads
North Carolina saved lives by installing cable barriers on freeways where the median width is less than 21 meters (70 feet).
Compounding the problem, hundreds of miles of North Carolina freeways were constructed with medians between 11 and 15 meters (36 and 50 feet) due to right-of-way costs and environmental constraints.
This reduction in crashes was evident from the outset of North Carolina's median barrier program, when in 1997 NCDOT tested an initial section of cable barrier in the Raleigh-Durham area and found that it significantly lessened the severity of cross-median crashes.
