Investigating safety and cost-effectiveness of cable median barriers in Louisiana

CONCLUSION: This study contributes to the understanding of CMB performance from both traffic safety and economic perspectives. The findings may assist transportation agencies in making decisions regarding the management of CMB systems. Based on the comprehensive analysis of CMBs on Louisiana freeways, this project has revealed that CMBs are an effective and economically justified crash countermeasure. Thus, further implementation of CMBs is recommended until better alternatives are available.PMID:38436613 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2314596
