Can a cylindrical roller absorb high impact energy from vehicles with large weights and speeds of up to 120 km/h? We will discuss this and its role in reducing traffic accident.
The rate of traffic accident in Ramadan
In one of the studies reflecting traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia, we found that the number of injuries increases significantly during Ramadan.
When comparing traffic accidents injuries during Ramadan compared to the rest of the year, this is clear.
The study analyzed more than 112,000 traffic accidents reported by the Saudi Red Crescent Authority in 2021. And what did we find? 9,922 of those 112 accidents occurred during Ramadan.
We found that the risk of a fatal accident at sunset during Ramadan is more than twice as high as in normal months.
Preventing traffic accident during Ramadan
One of the most important reasons we have found for traffic accidents is the rush to reach Iftar before the sun sets. This contributes to an increase in the frequency of injuries and accidents. As well as other factors such as reduced attention due to fasting or lack of sleep.
That’s why we designed safety roller barriers with cylindrical rollers.
Safety Roller barriers and their role in preventing traffic accident
One of the ways we at Shawahid Industrial Roads are keeping up with developments is by developing our traffic safety systems.
Safety roller barriers are one of the traffic safety systems that we have developed over traditional barriers. Safety roller barriers consist of rollers that have several characteristics that make them able to protect drivers to the maximum level.
Characteristics of Roller Barriers to prevent traffic accident
Shawahid Industrial Roads Company has made cylindrical roadblocks with significant features and characteristics.
What are roller barriers made of?
These are rollers made of flexible and plastic materials that can absorb the maximum amount of impact energy, thus removing the risk of injury to the driver and passengers.
The rollers then rotate in the opposite direction of the vehicle to redirect it back onto the right track, thus preventing the vehicle from the risk of swerving off the road.
Can we see the roller barrier in bad weather conditions or at night?
One of the major issues that Shawahid has always been concerned with is the need to enhance the visibility of the barrier in poor visibility conditions. To prevent a collision before it happens and to define the boundaries of the road.
So Shawahid Co. enhanced the rollers with two sheets of highly reflective film that can be seen at night.
Beware of traffic accident during Ramadan
Ramadan is the month of goodness, visits and joy for Muslims, so we must pay attention to our lives and the safety of us and our families on the road. Therefore, traffic safety is very important during this blessed month.
Because of its extreme importance, we at Shawahid have prepared all traffic safety systems, including the cylindrical road barriers that we have shown you.
We also cared about the rapid supply when you order any product from our website, out of our concern for your safety.
