    Traffic barrier with a pedestrian guardrail behind it. Traffic barriers (known in North America as guardrails or guard rails, [1] in Britain as crash barriers, [2] and in auto racing as Armco barriers [3]) keep vehicles within their roadway and prevent them from colliding with dangerous obstacles such as boulders, sign supports, trees, bridge abutments, buildings, walls, and large storm drains ...

  3. Jersey barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_barrier

    Jersey barriers on the road. A Jersey barrier, Jersey wall, or Jersey bump is a modular concrete or plastic barrier employed to separate lanes of traffic.It is designed to minimize vehicle damage in cases of incidental contact while still preventing vehicle crossovers resulting in a likely head-on collision.

  4. F-shape barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-shape_barrier

    The F-shape barrier is a concrete crash barrier, originally designed to divide lanes of traffic on a highway. It is a modification of the widely used Jersey barrier design, and is generally considered safer. [1] A parametric study, one that systematically varies the parameters, was done through computer simulations of barrier profiles labeled A ...

    Sicking use video footage to analyze and reconstruct the crash, as well as NASCAR's worst crashes over the 10 years prior. [10] Ultimately, the investigation contributed to the development of Sicking's invention, the SAFER barrier , [ 7 ] an energy management system that reduces the impact felt by the driver by flexing and absorbing energy.

  8. Cable barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_barrier

    As is the case with any roadside barrier, its primary purpose is to prevent a vehicle from leaving the traveled way and striking a fixed object or terrain feature that is less forgiving than itself. [1] Also similar to most roadside barriers, cable barriers function by capturing and/or redirecting the errant vehicle.

  9. Impact attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_attenuator

    A crash cushion installed on a motorway exit in Italy. An impact attenuator, also known as a crash cushion, crash attenuator, or cowboy cushion, is a device intended to reduce the damage to structures, vehicles, and motorists resulting from a motor vehicle collision. Impact attenuators are designed to absorb the colliding vehicle's kinetic energy.
