Road Barrier

Road Barrier

Road barriers, also known as traffic barriers or safety barriers, are essential safety features on roads and highways. These physical structures serve multiple critical functions, including preventing vehicles from leaving the roadway, guiding traffic flow, and protecting motorists and pedestrians from collisions with roadside hazards. In construction zones, road barriers provide a protective barrier between workers and passing traffic, enhancing safety for road workers. They are designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of impacting vehicles, reducing the severity of crashes and protecting vehicle occupants. Additionally, road barriers can separate pedestrian walkways from vehicular traffic, enhancing pedestrian safety. In high-security areas, heavy-duty barriers may be used as anti-terrorism measures to prevent unauthorized vehicle access. The selection, installation, and maintenance of road barriers are vital to their effectiveness in promoting road safety and mitigating accidents.
