Vertical Concrete Parapets - Concrete Vertical Papapets are designed to absorb vertical loads on impact. In contrast to the Jersey barrier, they are designed to prevent a rollover by keeping all four wheels on the ground instead of lifting the vehicle. These Barriers UK will cause substantially more damage to the impacting vehicle and driver injury could be substantially higher. By impacting the barrier directly, the driver and passengers may be thrown more forcefully from the vehicle either through the side window or through the front windshield.
Portable Concrete Barriers (PCBs) - These barriers are primarily used in construction work areas to keep vehicles from hitting workers. They are produced in sections, which are then transported and linked together on site. Their portability makes them a great choice for ongoing and moving projects, but their safety lies in the combination of long segments and significantly tight connections. The tighter connections allow for bending capabilities within the barriers. As long as the sections are connected haphazardly, this will not happen.
If the barrier sections are secured to the roadway at either end, additional security can be gained; however, this does make the barrier sections less portable as well as require more labor.
Low-Profile Concrete Barriers - Low-Profile concrete Barriers are constructed using the opposite design from Jersey barriers. These barriers slope inward making them slimmer at the bottom. In this reverse design, rather than lifting the bumper of the vehicle, it is pushed down. High-profile barriers are generally used in areas where driver sight distance could be compromised by using a low-profile barrier. They were introduced by the Texas Department of Transportation but have only been crash-tested with smaller vehicles at approximately 45 mph. The effectiveness of it in higher speed or larger vehicles has not been tested, so it is not known how it performs in these conditions.
Each barrier serves a valuable purpose depending on the road conditions and project. The F-type barrier has been deemed to be the most advanced and effective barrier, while the Jersey barrier is the most commonly used barrier with a variety of adaptations and has proven to be a very effective safety barrier.
