Fencing for Roads and Highways – Protecting both Motorists and ...

The rise in accidents and fatalities on roads across many nations is a cause for alarm amongst the public. As a result, both national and provincial Governments have had to consider putting a sustainable plan in place to safeguard our roads and ensure the safety of its citizens. While many temporary and permanent solutions have been tested and implemented, innovative fencing for roads and highways has emerged as a dynamic answer to this problem.

In this article, we briefly outline the dangers of not securing key roads and highways with essential infrastructure, while outlining both the ClearVu Invisible Wall and ClearVu curve products as a long-term solution to pedestrian and motorist safety.

The Clear and Present Danger of Unsecured Roads and Highways

With most commuters back on the roads following the lifting of the majority of COVID-19 restrictions, the unfamiliar sight of congestion and busy rush-hour traffic has once again reared its ugly head. This increases the risks of collisions, due to reckless driving, overtaking, and distractions (e.g. motorists on cell phones) not to mention, driver fatigue and the possibility of pedestrians walking into incoming traffic.

Governments, transport departments and key traffic entities should not wait until a catastrophe occurs on our roads before taking action. It is critical that the relevant authorities take preventative action to ensure the safety of their citizens.

What are the Benefits of installing Fencing for Roads and Highways?

While there are a number of fencing solutions that can be installed on roads and highways, it is important to choose the infrastructure that balances both road safety, while also blending into its environment. For this reason, the attractive options of ClearVu Invisible Wall and the ClearVu Curve (for bridges and overpasses) provide high security fencing for the required stretch of road, which are durable, attractive and cost-effective.

The installation of fencing for roads and highways can provide the following benefits;

• Creates effective demarcation between opposite lanes of traffic
• Prevents vehicles from veering into oncoming traffic
• Creates a preventative barrier to reduce the impact and escalation of collisions.
• Deters pedestrians from running across busy roads and highways
• Acts as a deterrent for livestock and wild animals to roam onto roads, in rural areas.

One of the key advantages of ClearVu Invisible Wall as the solution to road safety and channelisation challenges is the versatility of the product. All Cochrane Products are modular in nature and can adapt and expand, according to current and future requirements. The product also features extensive security measures, including tamper-resistance and ultra-strong post-finish, to protect your investment from the risks of vandalism and theft.

Overview

Highway fencing is essential for keeping roads safe and protecting both road users and the surrounding environment. It helps prevent accidents, controls access to restricted areas, secures vulnerable spots along busy highways, and reduces noise pollution.

Barkers Fencing offers solutions designed to keep vehicles on the road and pedestrians safe from traffic. Our road barriers and vehicle restraint systems prevent vehicles from straying off course, while pedestrian guardrails provide safety for foot traffic near busy roads.

We also provide steel noise barrier posts that can be paired with noise reduction panels to help minimise traffic noise for nearby residential areas, making highways safer and more liveable for everyone.

For pedestrian safety, we offer robust pedestrian guardrails that separate foot traffic from vehicular lanes. These guardrails are essential for maintaining pedestrian safety in high-risk zones, such as near construction sites, busy intersections, or along roadsides with no clear separation from traffic.

Barkers Fencing also provides noise barrier posts which can be CE marked for use on highways. Galvanised steel posts are highly durable for harsh environments.  

Vehicle Restraint Systems for Enhanced Safety

Barkers Fencing’s vehicle restraint systems are a vital component in ensuring highway vehicles don’t cause risk to other places, such as critical infrastructure, military bases and the rail way. It is designed to prevent vehicles from leaving the road and entering dangerous or restricted areas. These systems are engineered to effectively absorb the energy from a collision, minimising the risk of injury to others nearby.

Our vehicle restraint systems are rigorously tested to withstand the impact of both light and heavy vehicles, providing reliable protection even in the most demanding conditions. By preventing vehicles from veering off the road, these systems help avoid dangerous situations, such as collisions with the rail users and passengers, and critical infrastructure. 

Temporary Road Barriers

Our temporary road barriers are ideal for construction zones, roadworks, and temporary traffic management. They provide a reliable way to guide traffic, protect work sites, and create safe zones for pedestrians and workers during short-term projects.

Permanent Road Barriers

For long-term applications, our permanent road barriers are built to deliver robust and durable protection. These are suited for securing high-risk areas such as bridges, junctions, and motorway shoulders, offering a reliable solution to prevent vehicle intrusions and ensure road safety.
