An anchor assembly for an end terminal assembly of a highway guardrail system to enhance the safety of a vehicle impacting either the rail face of the associated guardrail or an end of the guardrail facing oncoming traffic. The guardrail system may have a folded beam type guardrail mounted on a plurality of posts adjacent to the side of a highway. An anchor assembly is provided as part of the end terminal assembly to provide tension support as desired for the guardrail during rail face impacts and a cable anchor bracket which releases from the guardrail during a head on impact with the end of the guardrail. Also, a universal strut is provided between a first post and a second post at the end of the guardrail as part of the anchor assembly. The universal strut can be used with either a left or right lateral offset between the first post and the second post relative to the guardrail. The universal strut and cable anchor bracket allow the guardrail and end terminal assembly to properly function during vehicle impact while reducing manufacturing costs and installation procedures.
