What is Understanding Road Safety Barriers about?
This document introduces three groups of safety barriers - flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid. Flexible barriers like wire rope safety barriers use cables and posts to contain vehicles via deflection. Semi-rigid barriers, the most widely used, are W-beam guard fences that redirect vehicles. Rigid barriers include concrete barriers and bridge railings. Safety barriers are installed to protect vehicles from hazards like slopes, objects, and narrow medians, but must be warranted due to their costs and risks.
