Cable barrier several types of highway barrier did not find an appreciable difference in fatal and severe injuries between cable barrier and W-beam barrier. Both were significantly more hazardous than concrete barrier, however were less hazardous than having no barrier at all. There are two types of cable barrier systems in use today, low-tension and high-tension.
