What is a road guardrail?

Guardrails provide highly visible protection in all weather conditions, helping to improve driver confidence. The guardrail system absorbs the impact of an out-of-control vehicle while guiding the vehicle to a safer stop.

What are highway guardrails made of?

The most common industrial or facility safety guardrail systems are made of steel, where the uprights are made of thick-walled steel tubing—whether round or square, heavy-duty ribbed rails are mechanically attached to the uprights with bolts or other fasteners.

What is a road railing?

Traffic barriers (sometimes called Armco barriers, also known as guardrails or guardrails in North America, and crash barriers in the UK) keep vehicles within the road and protect them from dangerous obstacles such as boulders, sign stands, trees, bridge abutments, etc. Collision, buildings, walls and large storm drains, or through steep (non-recoverable) slopes or into deep water.

How do guardrails work?

Guardrails are designed to absorb the shock of a crash or deflect a wayward vehicle, but it's not as simple as placing a piece of metal on the road. The guardrail works as a system, including the guardrail itself, the posts, the soil that drives the posts, the connection of the guardrail to the posts, the ends, and the anchoring system at the ends. The two components that determine how a guardrail performs in a crash are the ends and the guardrail face.

Guardrail Face: The sole purpose of this face is to redirect the vehicle back to the road when needed. The work face extends from one end to the other along the road.

Ends: Each end must be treated to absorb or redirect energy upon impact. In the event of a head-on collision, the end terminals are designed to slide down the guardrail, flatten and redirect away from the vehicle until the vehicle finally comes to a stop. If struck at an angle, the impact head may partially squeeze the guardrail, essentially acting like a door that can be opened to allow vehicles to pass behind it.
