What Are Barriers?

Barriers are physical structures used to regulate, control, or restrict vehicle and pedestrian movement on roads, highways, and work zones. They serve to enhance road safety, prevent accidents, and protect pedestrians, drivers, and workers.

Types of Barriers

1. Permanent Barriers – Made of concrete or metal for highways and critical infrastructure.
2. Temporary Barriers – Portable plastic or water-filled barriers used for construction zones and events.
3. Crash Barriers – Designed to absorb impact and prevent vehicles from crossing into dangerous areas.
4. Pedestrian Barriers – Used to separate foot traffic from vehicle lanes.
