So they do stop cars going across the road but wonder what injuries were sustained?? Surely a concrete barrier would cause less damage and less injury?

[Coyote]

Concrete barriers must be more expensive right?

Well if you took all costs, like cost of repairing Cheesecutter barrier, clearing up mess, firemen etc plus ACC costs for injuries, I would say probably not.

Cost of a Cheescutter may in isolation be less but you have to look at cost barrier generates after an accident. Me thinks concrete barriers may win

Ah yes. But, like most government run organisations (I say most because I do not know them all), LTNZ are the types that would not spend a penny to save a pound. They have no guarantee that the penny spent would save them that pound and would rather hang onto what wealth they do have. With so few crashes into barriers, this mentality saves them a lot of pennies

I don't see any of the vertical posts in that picture (that are supposed to be the main source of damage for bikers), it looks like just several wire ropes. Depending on how securely the vertical posts are fixed to the ground and the wire rope (and the spacing), they might've stopped that?

looks like my old XF Fairmont Ghia.....
