There are many types of barriers used in roads, so why safety roller are the future of road safety? And what is the relationship between it and Vision 2030?
It was necessary to install barriers on the sides of the rough roads that ensure superior protection not only to prevent deviation from the road but also to protect the driver if he collides with the barrier with minimal damage to the vehicle.
Causes of Road Departure and Roller Barrier’s Role
Even if the road is clear during the day, a collision or sudden issue may occur that leads to unintentional deviation from the road, and for the night with the same reason mentioned above, poor visibility and lack of clarity are factors in exposure to the risk of deviation that results in many serious injuries that may lead to death.
Roller barriers provide the necessary and superior protection in these situations. They return vehicles to the road, day or night, and are visible due to the reflective film on the rollers.
What is the difference between a Safety roller barrier and others?
Barriers differ in design and consequently in the places where we installed. The design of the barrier makes it suitable for some places and not others. However, the roller barrier can used on many different roads due to its excellent design, which enhances traffic safety with high efficiency.
The most important characteristic of the roller barrier, which is the safety core, is the rollers that rotate around their axis when colliding with each other. The safety rollers turn clockwise in the opposite direction to the road, one after the other. Working to redirect the car in this way towards the right route gradually or quickly, depending on the vehicle’s speed. The roller barrier can withstand collisions with vehicles up to 120 km/h.
Safety Roller Barrier… What’s unique about it?
Roller barrier is characterized by their unique design, which has made roller barriers highly protective and safe for traffic safety.
Flexible Safety rollers
The cylinders that make up the barrier and we placed next to each other characterized by made of plastic and highly elastic materials to be able to absorb the maximum amount of impact energy thus protecting the passengers and the driver with a high level of protection with no injury and little damage to the vehicle.
Reflective films
There are two reflective film sheets on the body of the rollers that enhance the visibility of both the barrier and the road edge at night. Thus reducing the rate of collision or deviation from the road, enhancing traffic safety.
Conforms to international standards
These advantages are only useful if the roller barrier complies with international standards that indicate their efficiency in achieving traffic safety. After manufacturing the roller barriers, we tested them and ensured that they complied with the standards of crash tests.
Safety Roller Barrier Development of Metal Barriers
All countries around the world are currently seeking to shift their cities into smart cities as part of Vision 2030, and road traffic safety is one of the important aspects of achieving this vision, how can smart cities have many accidents and serious injuries? As a result, Shawahid Industrial Roads Co. was focused on developing metal barriers to enhance traffic safety and created the best version of a roller barrier that can absorb the shocks of different vehicles at high speeds as well as comply with the standards that ensure safety and security for lives and the road.
Shawahid has also facilitated supply to any place around the world and provided different mediums that you can choose from to order the roller barrier.
