NEW GUARD RAIL
So Miles LONG

Sixty miles of guard rail, costing
81, S71, have been erected by the
Minnesota Highway department in
various parts of the state during the
past summer, according to bulletin
received by the Miner. Since the
state took over the trunk routes in
1921, total Of $50 miles Of guard
rail have been built, at a cost of
$457,802. In addition to this there
are several dozen miles of guard rail
built by the counties previous to
1921 on roads taken into the state
system.
From and after 1928 the state
has used only wire cable guard rail.
Previous to that guand rails were
largely of wood, few being rein
forced concrete. The wooden and
concrete guard rails may look better,
but the cable is much stronger. The
cost is less than half as much as
wood and about one-ifth the cost Of
concrete. The average price in 1927
was 10 cents per foot, complete.
The Highway department speci-
fications call for a Y inch double
galvanized annealed steel cable of
three strands with seven wires each.
The minimum tensile strength ac-
cepted is $4,000 pounds. All nuts,
clips, anchor bolts and other fittings
must have the same strength. All
materials are tested in the highway
laboratories.
Posts are northern white cedar,
cut green and seasoned. Posts are
n feet long and the minimum top
diameter is 5z inches. The lower
four feet are treated with preserv-
alive. Tops are painted white, to
give visibility at night. Posts are
erected twelve feet apart and three
feet three inches in the ground. The
cable is attached two feet from the
ground, this height giving the best
protection against automobiles going
into the ditch.
Guard rail is erected wherever q
grade is more than five feet high. It
serves a double purpose; first, to
show the edge of the grade beyond
which it is not safe to go; second, to
stop vehicles headed for the ditch.
No guard rail has yet been devised
which will prevent accidents every
time a car starts for the side lines,
but the steel cable has proved very
effective and has probably prevented
thousands of tip-overs and saved
hundreds of lives.
This is only one of many ways in
which the Minnesota Highway de-
partment aims to make the highways
safe for travel. Commissioner c. M.
Babcock has always made safety the
first object in highway construction.
When trunk highways are improved
every possible effort is made to elm
mate grade crossings and sharp
turns. Roads are made as wide and
straight as possible, to give sight
distance. All curves, crossings and
other hazards are plainly marked.
