In the current period, all countries are shifting to modern cities according to Vision 2030. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has planned to keep up with this global change, so it started several projects inside cities and on roads to achieve traffic safety. The Kingdom is currently working on huge city projects of great importance as part of Vision 2030, and officials have mentioned and maintained the importance of traffic safety in these projects. As a result, Shawahid was prepared with the best traffic safety systems and participated in these projects and continues to participate with traffic safety systems due to their efficiency and securing lives on the roads to a great level.
Shawahid Industrial Roads Company has made great efforts to maintain traffic safety in different cities and regions of Saudi Arabia, providing a unique service that includes manufacturing, supplying, and installing systems. Shawahid’s traffic safety systems can be seen in projects located in Riyadh, Madinah, Al Qassim, and Hail
Crash Cushion systems are one of the best systems for achieving traffic safety. These systems are placed at intersections or on the sides of roads in front of concrete barriers. Crash Cushion systems are characterized by their ability to absorb the energy of a collision. They consist of internal cushions. The cushions compress during a crash without breaking.
These systems have passed traffic safety tests and have proven their high efficiency for low and high speeds from 50 km/h to 120 km/h. They are equipped with reflective films to enhance
Shawahid was keen to design safety roller barriers, that are considered an innovative alternative to road barriers because of their great importance in traffic safety. Safety roller barriers consist of a set of rollers placed next to each other along the barrier, when a collision occurs, these rollers rotate around their strong steel axis, redirecting the deflected vehicles back to the road again while absorbing the maximum amount of collisions due to the flexible materials from which these rollers are made, fully protecting passengers and minimizing damage to the vehicle.
The rollers are equipped with reflective sheets to enhance their visibility and the road edges, enhancing road safety
One of the global projects started by the Kingdom, which links three countries: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt, so attention to traffic safety in this project was one of the important pillars.
Shawahid is participating in the NEOM project with GuardRail barriers, due to their importance in the infrastructure in securing the roads. The GuardRail barriers protect drivers if they swerve off the road and guide cars to get them back on the path again, they are compliant with collision standards, so they are effective inside and outside cities, we also participated in Al Qassim Road
The barriers are equipped with single or double-side reflectors for two-way roads that enhance road safety by clarifying the visibility of the barrier and the road
MegaSRail barriers differ from other barriers as they are specially designed to perform their role in desert areas, prone to extreme sandstorms because their unique design prevents sand from accumulating on the barriers or burying them, thus maintaining traffic safety by protecting passengers and redirecting them when they swerve and crash into the barrier
Shawahid offers an additional advantage as we not only manufacture and supply traffic safety systems, but also contribute to saving time and effort by installing traffic safety systems to ensure their high efficiency, and this service includes all the traffic safety systems that we have presented in previous projects
The company has also participated in other projects in Riyadh, Madinah, and Najran with its traffic signs, and we seek to provide these signs with the best quality and quickest delivery
