Abstract
A terminal post for a cable barrier which is of a unitary post construction. The integrally formed post has a cable barrier portion for retaining barrier cable(s) and an anchor-cable portion for retaining anchor cable(s). The cable barrier includes at least one cable-barrier portion which, in use, receives and retains one or more barrier-cables used in the cable barrier and at least one anchor-cable portion in the form of a central groove, which, in use, receives and retains one or more anchor-cables which are anchored so as to counter balance the force applied to the terminal post by the barrier-cable(s). The cable-barrier portion(s) and the anchor-barrier portion(s) within the post body are configured so that, in use, at least one of the anchor-cable(s) and barrier-cable(s) are releasable from the body during a collision with a vehicle where the anchor-cables act as a ramp and/or snag during the collision.
