But, with no power poles, how would we get rid of the drunk drivers?

[carver]

Just a few snaps of the Cromwell gorge area, of the wire...THE REAL ONES...barriers installed there. As usual the traffic was bumper to bumper, but it was 3.30 in the afternoon. It wasn't warm... but the work ute has a heater and half decent stereo system.
The lengths of these vary from 25 metres, to well over a kilometer.

thats fucking great, at least we can see them when its dark!

The wire barriers aren't all connected... we could put signs at the end of each string... drunk drivers GO OFF HERE
If that doesn't work
But most of us just rely on

I haven't seen one like that before.. looks bloody good!!!!

There are some places in Wellington with Double Row Armco. It makes me feel so much better

There are a number of places through the gorge with cheese cutters that don't really need any barrier at all. I am aware of at least four cars going into the lake before the barriers were in place and at least two were fatal.

However one of those happened in such a place, and at a speed that he would have gone over the wire anyway. He was heading south, went off the road to the left, bounced back to the right, and left the road at abouth the centreline, so would have already been well airborne at the point of the barrier.

Another car that went into the water was a cop car. The cop forgot to put his handbrake on.

A Toyota Supra hit one of the barriers in the gorge just past Jacksons (Cromwell side) on Tuesday night. He didn' DRIVE home and didn't go THROUGH the barrier. Was parked up on the side of the road all messed up on wednesday morning...Barrier was FIXED by the time I went home that night.

That's fast... took em quite a while to fix up some of the WRBs on SH2 towards Upper Hutt awhile back.

[FJRider]

They fix em fast because of the high traffc flows we have in this area now ....

This is what we're up against, they DO work on cages......anyone wanna try it on a bike so we can even things up? Carver?

This is what we're up against, they DO work on cages.

They work on cages in most cases, but not on trucks, some SUVs, buses, or low-slung convertibles. I know I don't need to tell you that, as I saw the photo showing exactly what a WRB did to a car in your old place of employment.
