Roadside Guardrail Systems
Roadside guardrails are important for low and high traffic areas where speed limits range from 50 km/h – 110 km/h.
Guardrails help to protect:
Drivers
Pedestrians
Property
Guardrails not only protect drivers and their vehicles from the detrimental effects of rebounding, vaulting or rolling over, they also offer protection to pedestrians and property.
