Yep, and the other countries that have not banned them have fitted plastic tubes to the cables.
But hey LTNZ is happy to forgo a couple of bikers in the name of road safety.

Er.
Norway isn't in the EU IIRC. They'd have an economic collapse if they joined, but that's another matter.
I should ask MsM, she's over there at the moment.

They don't drive/ride fast enough in Norway to do anything except get a a bit of rope burn if you fell off and hit them.
Max speed? 80km/hr. Jail time? 120 km/hr.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

That is incorrect. When I was last there they had one hundred zone about a kilometer long.
They now have a few 100 km/h zones, they're doing a lot of work to bring the roading up to Eu spec.

When was the last time you were there?
My sister-in-law is home in Bergen now and they have just had huge ructions about the speed limit being 80km/hr DESPITE roading improvements.
They are looking at dropping the open road speed limit to 70 km/hr at the moment. Probably won't happen though.

How many bikers in NZ have been killed by them??
Forum whore
Who's actually hit the cheesewire then? I'm just happy there's some roads with some sort of barrier to stop the ar$eholes coming onto my side of the road.
There are worse things than the cheesewire. You'd be better campaigning against the THOUSANDS of them bloody telegraph piles next to pretty much every major road in the country. Hit one of them in a car (never mind a bike) and you'd wish there was cheesewire around them.

None, because we're all such good riders.
The point is LTNZ wank on about road safety etc yet still use methods that are banned in other countries.
No we haven't lost a biker on the cheese wires yet, but lets not have this happen to prove a point.
Yes they stop cars crossing the center line however a simple fix of putting plastic tubes on the wire would cater for motorcycle safety too, but noooooo that would cost too much, thereby illustrating the fact that LTNZ are full of shitolah

Safety barriers are a form of roadside hazard. When considering whether to install a safety barrier, it is important to remember that the barrier will present some danger to the occupants of errant vehicles, and especially to unprotected road users such as motorcyclists. A barrier should only be installed if collision with it will present less of an injury risk to vehicle users and occupants than would result from collision with the roadside hazard that is to be shielded by the barrier.
It is important to consider specifically the danger posed to motorcyclists by both the hazard and the intended safety barrier. As essentially unprotected road users, motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to unforgiving roadside environments; any obstacle in the path of an errant motorcyclist has the potential to cause severe injury. If it is decided that a safety barrier is necessary at a site, attention should be paid to the design of the barrier to ensure that it poses as little risk as possible to colliding motorcyclists.
