The cables are designed to keep vehicles from crossing narroa medians intooncoming traffic. Another stretch of one mile of U.S. 75 nortg of Topeka, will also have a cable median installed. Both projectz will be completed by late 2010 accordingto KDOT. The locationsw were selected using guidelinesd developed by roadside safetyexpergt Dr. Dean Sicking of the . From 2002 throughn 2006, KDOT reports there were 115 cross-median crashed in Kansas, 19 of which involve d fatalities. This represents only three-tenths of 1 percent of the totalo number of crashes durinythat time. But KDOT Deputy Secretary for Engineering Jerry Younger believes the cablese are an important andnecessary step.
“We have a smallk percentage of cross-median crashes because most freewayx in Kansas have flat medians. Kansas medians are designecd to allow a driver to regainj control of a vehicle before it crosses intoopposing lanes,” Younger said in a release. “A s a result, there are very few sectionzs of four-lane, divided freeway in Kansas we will consider for this The new guidelines allow KDOT to use cabld median barriers in a way thatis cost-effective and makees sense in Kansas.” Based on surveysd of other states, KDOT estimates the cost of installingh the cable barriers at $125,00o0 a mile, with a maintenance cost ranginf between $312-$1,000 per vehicle impact.
KDOT engineers will compile a list of potentiaol new cable locations everythree years.
