What are safety roller barriers?

Suppose there is an object weighing 10 tons travelling at a speed of 100 km / h, certainly, if it collides with any barrier, building, or otherwise, the collision leads to serious damage, so traffic safety on roads, especially highways, is imperative because the deviation of vehicles, in this case, is an absolute disaster; therefore, Safety Roller Barriers were invented to be a radical development in road barriers and a milestone addition in traffic safety as a whole.

What are safety roller barriers?

In simple terms, the Safety Roller is the newest type of GuardRails, where a number of cylinders are added along the barrier that works to receive the collision more smoothly to maintain the safety of the driver and the vehicle and minimize the damage to the maximum degree possible, as these rollers, when a collision occurs, rotate around its axis, dissipating a large part of the impact energy, returning the vehicle to its proper path, preserving the lives of passengers and differentially supporting traffic safety.

What makes safety roller barriers different from others?

The features of roller barriers are almost too numerous to list, but the most important features of roller barriers can be summarized as follows:

MASH-TL4 certified

According to MASH traffic safety tests, the roller barriers are effective against vehicle crash up to 120 km/h, and trucks up to 90 km/h, which suits most road speeds.

Redirecting vehicles to the correct lane

The ingenious design of the cylindrical roadblock not only cushions the crash but also redirects the vehicle to the correct lane, preventing the car from going off the road.

Easy and quick to repair in case of damage.

Returning to the design of roller barriers, Shahadat Industrial Roads has designed the roller barrier in the form of separate units so that it is easy to repair or change it in the event of a crash without changing an entire section of the roller barrier, which facilitates the process and makes it economical in cost, time and effort, and also supports traffic safety in saudia as it minimizes the disruption of traffic.

Versatility.

Based on the previous point, roller barriers are more than just a barrier to be placed on the edges of roads, they can also be used as an enclosure for some traffic safety units, such as around traffic lights.

Supported with reflective sheeting.

To increase traffic safety on the roller barriers, Shawahid Group has placed reflective strips on the rollers of the roller barrier as an additional traffic safety factor that increases the visibility of the roller barrier at night, reducing the chance of a crash and helping the vehicle driver to know the limits of the road.

Why are roller barriers an ideal choice?

Given the mountainous nature of Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf countries in general, cylindrical barriers are an ideal choice to increase traffic safety in obstacle areas and off-road areas.

Shawahid Co. contribution to the development of roller barriers.

Shawahid Industrial Roads has always worked on developing traffic safety systems periodically through its team of creative engineers to raise the level of traffic safety inside and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and it has had the best imprint in changing the perspective of traffic safety for the better as it always strives with pure Saudi hands to create a better future for traffic safety, and this comes in its development of all its products including roller barriers, End Terminal Berries System, Crash Cushion Systems that all testify that Shawahid is at the top of the traffic safety throne.
