Is there a way to protect pedestrians and secure their lanes on the road without using multiple or economically costly systems? The solution is flexible post.
Can pedestrians be protected using flexible post alone?
Some may think these posts are too weak or too small to be used for separating pedestrian and vehicular lanes. Even if they are used, they won’t work, but that’s not true. These posts are highly capable of protecting pedestrians and securing their movement.
The posts are made of high-quality materials that make them very flexible. With this flexibility, the poles can withstand and resist shocks. In addition to the presence of a spring unit integrated into the base, this unit is the main factor for the flexibility of the posts and their ability to bend at a large angle when pressure is put on them from cars colliding with them. The posts then return to their normal position without breaking. This ensures the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, redirecting cars back into their lane and alerting drivers when they collide with them without damaging the cars.
Additional Features in Flexible Post
The advantages of flexible poles are not limited to the spring base, flexibility, and impact resistance, there are other equally important features.
Shiny structure
Flexible posts of different types are characterized by their shiny, UV-resistant structure and thus have a long lifespan and aren’t economically costly.
Reflective films
Flexible posts are coated with a series of sheets consisting of reflective films. Due to the high reflectivity of these films, the posts can define the boundaries of the road and make it highly visible to alert drivers. Thereby enhancing traffic safety.
Where to Install Flexible Posts
Flexible posts can be used in many places and will provide the same efficiency and protection.
Identifying pedestrian and cyclist paths
According to multiple studies, cyclists prefer to use the designated paths on the road, so their paths need to be secured for full protection.
Storefront security
Flexible posts are used to define the storefront to prevent cars from parking in front of it.
Organizing traffic and landscaping
Flexible posts of different types are used to organize traffic not only in cities but also everywhere. They are used at airports, in parking lots, and are used at facilities or private areas such as real estate.
Differences between types of flexible Posts
We have already mentioned the features of flexible posts that are available in different types of posts, and here we explain the differences between them.
Flexible Posts
This type of post can withstand temperatures from 20 to 60 degrees.
It also has a round base with a small spring unit.
Flexible Post with a Long Base
They can be used individually or collectively to form a wall of posts because there is a joint area to attach the base.
Flexible Post with Reflective Base
In addition to the reflective films that cover the poles themselves, the base also has reflective films in three colors to enhance visibility at night.
We guarantee high-quality flexible posts
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Transportation, and the General Roads Authority wouldn’t use the flexible posts that we manufacture at Shawahid to install them in different projects and areas unless those posts conform to the specifications and are approved by the Ministry.
We have designed the posts with high quality and excellent efficiency to achieve the greatest degree of safety when using them, so you can order them and find out the details of approval through our various communication means.
