Overview
WSDOT installed high-tension cable median barrier on State Route 8 from Elma to US 101. The installation of this barrier is part of WSDOT’s commitment to safety.
 | Improves Safety
Our goal is to help prevent the worst kind of collisions - head-on collisions caused by drivers crossing the median and entering oncoming traffic.
Cable barrier significantly reduces the number of fatal and disabling accidents.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official’s (AASHTO) benefit/cost analysis of cable median barrier showed such projects to be among the highest benefit safety investments to prevent fatal and disabling accidents.
