Missouri Cables Save Lives
Cross over truck accidents are some of the most devastating. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) recently installed several cable barriers along Missouri highways as a result. Since the installation of the cable barriers on Missouri interstates, yearly fatalities have dropped from 55 to 2.
The cables were installed to help keep cars and trucks from crossing the center grassy median and hitting cars and trucks going the other direction. These head on collisions at highway speeds are some of the most deadly truck crashes. The force involved when cars and trucks collide from opposite directions is tremendous. And often deadly.
The cable barriers were recently placed along I-70, I-29 and I-44. The cost was an approximate $50 million. MoDOT estimates the cables cost over $100,000 per square mile to install. The cables span more than 500 miles along Missouri's highways and interstates. The cost is great, but a small price to pay if lives are saved during Missouri truck accidents and car accidents.
Because of the success, MoDOT is looking into putting additional cables along Missouri roadways.
