Safety Barriers act as permanent median or edge barriers and also have many uses for temporary traffic control.
These units are made to Standard RTA specifications and are designed to reduce crash severity by keeping errant vehicles travelling parallel to the traffic and upright. Head on collisions are prevented and damage to vehicles is minimised.
