Ireland
The usage of the concrete step barrier has now become widespread in Ireland. As of November 2008, 405 kilometres (252 mi) of new motorway under construction at present will use the new barrier. Existing motorways such as parts of the M8 and M6 already have the crash barrier. Other motorways are now installing them as part of upgrades (M50).
