Guardrail Terminal Systems: Critical for Roadside Safety

Table of Contents

End Terminal systems are an essential piece of roadside protection; without them, drivers could be at risk of death or serious injury.

What is a guardrail terminal?

Guardrail terminal, or the end terminal barriers, is a roadside barrier complementary piece installed at the front or end of the barrier to protect drivers and vehicles from the risk of colliding due to its ability to absorb the energy of the collision between the car and the front of the barrier.

What does a guardrail terminal consist of?

  The end terminal barriers are not limited only to the front or the front face that absorbs the shock, it is a full system that supports the Guardrail barriers, as it consists of:

The face of the guardrail terminal

This face is covered with reflective films to enhance visibility and avoid collision with it and the barrier at night. When the vehicle collides with the device, the front goes back while reducing the speed of the colliding vehicle, and then stopping it completely.

The pillars

The pillars support the Guardrail barriers. When a collision occurs and the front goes back, the pillars break, and the destroyed part of the barrier is pushed out from the other side of the road to maintain traffic safety.

If a collision with the same barrier occurs from the side, the pillars break, and the Guardrail redirects the vehicle back onto the road.

Round Rail

This part is also mounted to protect drivers, reducing the risk of injury upon impact and moving the vehicle away from the barrier.
