Ten impact tests were carried out on alternative constructions of cable and chain-line barriers; tests consisted in guiding cars, usually by remote control, into barriers 200 ft in length, photographing vehicle-barrier responses, and measuring vehicle decelerations; speeds up to 60 mi/hr and angles up to 20° to line of barrier were employed; constructional items investigated were posts about 45 in. in height, chain-link mesh, and pairs of cables clamped on either side of posts; chain-link mesh was dispensed with, and shorter posts were used in exceptional case.
