Abstract
A cable integrated guardrail system for highway guardrail. The rail of the system contains at least one cut section placed longitudinally along the panel, and of sufficient dimension as to allow interaction with a cable. Said cut sections also act to reduce longitudinal resistance and safely stop axially impacting vehicles. A cable, which is of sufficient length to extend longitudinally along the entire system, prevents tearing of the rail during lateral impacts and aids in safely redirecting the vehicle away from a hazard.
