Some traffic safety systems are divided into several types, each differing from the other in terms of design, for example, or in terms of places of use. Among the many types of traffic safety systems, Guardrail Barriers are divided into four types, and another system of metal road barriers (Guardrail Barriers) has also been produced.
Importance of Guardrail Barriers
Guardrail barriers are one of the most important traffic safety systems used around the world, and a road can’t be without them because of their great importance in achieving traffic safety, barriers are installed on the borders and sides of the road, as well as in the middle of the two-way road in some cases. Guardrail barriers work to define the sides of the road and protect drivers and passengers inside vehicles, when the car collides with the body of the barrier, the barrier absorbs the maximum impact energy and redirects the vehicle back to the road with minimal damage to the car.
Thus, Guardrail barriers protect individuals and the road, making them indispensable in various types.
Types of Guardrail Barriers
Guardrail barriers are divided into four types, in addition to an innovative type of guardrail barriers with different designs for specific places, such as single, double, triple, and twin guardrail barriers.
These four types are similar in the role they play as we mentioned, and in the form of design, they are very similar, differing only in the beams that make up the barriers, either a single beam or, as mentioned, several beams of double, and triple.
All previous types are installed and used in the same places, but the other type divided from the Guardrail barriers is the Megarail.
Megasrail barriers are an improvement from Guardrail barriers in terms of design and the role they play, as Megarail barriers are specially installed in desert and sandy areas, thanks to their unique design, sand cannot accumulate on the body of the barrier so it is not buried over time and thus continues its role in absorbing collision shocks and directing the vehicle back to the road while protecting the driver.
Features of Guardrail Barriers
Many features make metal road barriers essential for road safety:
Extremely durable:
Guardrail barriers are manufactured from hot- galvanized steel to form the beams for high quality.
Corrosion resistance:
Another characteristic of Guardrail is its design, which makes it long-lasting with its corrosion resistance.
Compliant with international standards
Guardrail and Megarail Road Barriers have been crash-tested and certified for their crash-test compliance and road safety.
Specialized team for installation
One of the best things about Shawahid’s Guardrail barriers is the availability of a professional team to install the barriers quickly and easily.
Enhancing traffic safety of metal road barriers
What helps to enhance the role of Guardrail barriers is to see them clearly in bad weather conditions as well as during night driving, so Shawahid Industrial Roads Company has designed reflectors that are installed on the Guardrail barriers and Megarail barriers after installing the barriers themselves, and these reflectors are metal plates on which reflective films are fitted on one face, or the front and back face in dual ways and thus increase the visibility of the roadsides and the barriers themselves, when the light of car lamps falls on the reflectors, they reflect that light on the road.
Efficiency of Guardrail Barriers from Shawahid Industrial Roads Company
Various traffic safety systems are involved in Saudi projects, and this is evident in projects such as NEOM, Qassim and other projects, and in these projects, government institutions have used Guardrail and Megarill barriers, as Shawahid is a pioneer in this field, so we always seek to provide these barriers and supply them as soon as they are ordered through:
