[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 254219, member: 43"] They have installed the same thing on I-10 from around Columbus all the way to San Antonio and possibly beyond. What you'll soon see are thousands (millions?) of upright steel posts, about 4 feet tall, bolted to the concrete "sidewalk" about every 6 feet. Next they will string about three lines of very thick steel cable through holes in those posts, and the cables will be anchored to the ground every mile or so. The cables will be strung somewhat loosely, not real tight. Although they prevent cars from crossing over the main purpose is to stop cars that careen off the freeway and into the median and possibly into cars on the opposite side of the median -- as in the case of wrecks, blowouts, driver falling asleep, etc. I don't know if it is part of the federal interstate program or if it is just a Texas thing but no doubt it involves some big time $$$$ spent [/QUOTE]
