| Summary | An investigation of median barriers in Northern California freeways found cable barriers to be ineffective in protecting drivers. Lawsuits have been filed against the state stating that the barriers are 'obsolete, outdated, inadequate and archaic'. But dozens of miles of highways are still protected by these barriers even though plans to replace the cable barriers were approved three years ago. |
