Does it make a difference? An independent study completed by National Co-Operative Highway Research Program in the United States looked into a broad range of Wire Rope Safety Barrier Systems.

The study reviewed and compared the performance of several Brands but in particular the differences in parallel rope and weave designs systems. And the findings were published in a report named NCHRP711.
The investigation sought to find how each system performed and how deflections were manipulated through varying Post Spacing and Anchor Spacing.
