It seems to me that cable barriers should be abondoned, in favor of traditional wood posts and large metal channels. I know the cable barriers are far cheaper in materials and far far cheaper in installation cost as well. Sometimes the safety of the people should be more important than the cost of construction...
A couple of weeks ago a bus in Central California hit a large metal freeway sign post that cut into the bus and went all the way back and only stopped when it hit the first rear axle. That sign had been protected by a metal guardrail with the wood posts. Doesn't even looked like they slowed the bus down as it went through them.
