About this category

Road barriers: types, dimensions and fixing

Protective barriers within the road reserve follow the types required by the road authority. The rail type comes without a rail, with one rail and with two rails; the infill type uses close-spaced bars; the chain type uses posts and chain. Typical sizes are 150 and 200 cm long at 110 cm high, with tube diameters around 60.3 and 48.3 mm.

The category covers rail barriers in all variants including regional patterns, infill barriers with one or two runs, chain barriers, anti-splash pavement barriers, tram barriers, flexible polymer barriers, splash barriers, road separators, anti-glare screens, speed cushions and edge marker posts.

The fixing method and the location decide the choice. Concreted versions are used for permanent schemes; bolted versions and movable bases suit temporary works and layouts that change. Finishes include hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating in signal colours and reflective elements.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do the barriers carry the required approvals?

Types used within the road reserve are selected in line with the road authority's requirements, and product documents are handed over with the delivery.

Concreted or bolted?

Concreted for permanent schemes; bolted or on a base for temporary works and layouts that change.

What is the difference between the infill and rail types?

The infill type uses close-spaced bars that discourage crossing at undesignated points; the rail type relies on cross rails. The road authority usually dictates the choice.
