Driving accidents on rough roads and mountainous areas may lead to death and threaten traffic safety. The risk of crashing on these roads is the most frequent danger due to the rough roads or bad weather conditions. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety published that 75% of deaths on rough roads were due to crashing which puts traffic safety in danger
Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, wind, or fog, also cause traffic accidents. These conditions cause blurred vision and difficulty controlling the vehicle, which leads to swerving off the road, and thus threatens traffic safety
Traffic safety rules in mountainous or rough areas may not differ from those in normal areas on highways or within cities. Some of the most important rules of the road in rough areas:
One of the traffic safety rules for mountainous areas is to keep the speed low when going up or down in heights because doing the opposite affects the engine and thus the vehicle may get stopped affecting road safety
After knowing the traffic safety standards in rough areas, designing roads and equipping them with traffic safety systems makes the standards effective and saves lives. Shawahid Industrial Roads Company has manufactured traffic safety systems suitable for these areas
Most mountainous areas, especially in Arab countries, are characterized by sand storms, so the use of MegaSRail road barriers is necessary to achieve safety in these areas, due to its excellent and developed design which enhances safety, prevents the accumulation of sand on it. so prevent it from performing its work of protecting drivers and redirecting them back to the road when deviating from the least damage to the vehicle
Shawahid is very interested in Safety Roller Barriers and encourages officials and those interested in road traffic safety to use them. They are an advanced system of road barriers that makes them an effective alternative to barriers.
Our developed systems for road barriers consist of a set of flexible plastic rollers placed next to each other along the length of the barrier. Upon impact, each roller rotates around its steel axis, guiding the deflected vehicle back onto the road while absorbing the energy of the collision. The rollers have reflective films to enhance traffic safety at night and in fog
Bad weather conditions increase the danger to road safety and the percentage of rough road accidents. due to difficult visibility or slipping on the road when heavy rains fall. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety published a study showing that more than 40% of accidents in rough road areas are due to weather conditions and wet roads, We have designed some traffic safety systems that we present as an effective solution in such conditions
These types of road studs differ from the other types as solar road studs work at night without the need for any light source or car lighting due to their full dependence on solar energy stored during the day through the solar panel at the top of the cat eyes. Characterized by its durability as it withstands weights over 30 tonnes
These signs developed by Shawahid are effective in bad weather conditions, as they combine traffic signs, LED technology, and solar power. The system consists of a traffic sign with LED lights and a solar panel on top that stores the power throughout the day and then starts working at night until the next day.
Made from weather-resistant aluminum and insulated from the inside to protect it from damage, these solar signs are equipped with reflective films and can be seen from far distances thanks to high-quality LEDs
The company is interested in making various roads safe through the development of traffic safety systems to preserve lives, so we guarantee road users and traffic safety officials the best performance of these systems with the rapid supply and installation of barriers.
