Metal and plastic road fences

Plastic and metal road barriers are part of the road. On urban and country roads, they serve as insurance for the driver and pedestrian. Metal and road plastic fences are used not for beauty, but they play the most important role in traffic accidents, preventing the transport from taking off from the road to the curb, as well as from bridges and bridge structures.

Classification and installation instructions for road barriers are regulated in accordance with GOST R 52606-2006. Barriers are divided into groups and subgroups.

Lateral

Used on highways and bridges, depending on where they are located, these groups are divided into two subgroups:

1. One way metal and road plastic fencing installed on the edges of the dividing line or road. Designed to keep the car on the road and takes a hit with only one side;
2. Double sided fences are different from one-sided in that they take a blow from both sides, and is installed only in the middle of the dividing line.

Bilateral fencing

Both for cars and for pedestrians, there are road barriers made of plastic and metal, which, according to the location condition, are divided into 2 groups:

1. along the edges of the pavement of bridge structures;
2. along the edge of the curb.

Pedestrian fencing

Designed to protect the usual pedestrian from falling or from colliding with a vehicle. One way or another, their main task is to save a person’s life.

Pedestrian Fencing

They, according to their application and location, are divided into four main groups:

1. Barrier-type road barriers are used on sidewalks and along side dividing lines;
2. Used in the fencing of underground or above-ground passages;
3. It is used to enclose lawns or other grounds in order to save damage from pedestrians;
4. It is used to ensure that a pedestrian does not get into the danger zone of power line overpasses.

In case there is a need, such road barriers can be made by hand.

Fences for animals

They are designed to protect the road from their possible appearance on the roadway. Depending on the place and conditions of application, two groups are distinguished:

1. Along the side road;
2. In specially constructed aisles for livestock, which are usually under the road.

Protect the road from animals

Mostly barriers are made of concrete shields, cables, barriers or grids. But there are also mobile options - cones and water filled barriers made of plastic.

Plastic road cones

Traffic cones are signal signs that are used to restrict territories. These can be places where construction or repair work is done, and also they can act as a time marking. The plastic fence in the form of a cone is made of polypropylene, which has a bright orange color.

Its design is very convenient due to the stand at the base, and the total height ranges from 320 to 1000 mm. The shape of this product is very convenient and is easy to install, regardless of the type of surface, like asphalt, grass or soil.

Bright colors make road cones and parking fences perfectly visible at any time of the day. For good visibility at night, the products are equipped with reflective stripes.

Virtues

1. Ease and simplicity of plastic limiters in use,
2. Little weight,
3. Excellent visibility
4. Sustainability - the design allows you to install them in any convenient place, but there is a risk of cones shifting under the action of the wind. In such situations, weighting agents are used or the product design is filled with sand,
5. Security - not capable of harming people and vehicles in the event of a collision or collision with them,
6. Durability - an average life of 5 years, and with careful treatment, it can increase several times. The cones are able to withstand different temperature changes and precipitation,
7. The best price.

Application

Plastic road cones выступают главным атрибутом любого дорожного происшествия. Они выступают ограждением для мест, где:

• there was an accident
• construction or repair work is underway,
• communications are established,
• as a time marking.

Road cones (not to be confused with barrier fences) - also used to denote:

• construction sites,
• parking area
• some limited area
• sites required for sporting events,
• when learning to drive.

Their wide use is justified by the fact that such products are simple and convenient, do not require special skills, and the ordinary person, even a child, can cope with them because the cones do not have much weight. Such road devices are mobile because they can be transported in huge volumes, quickly installed and assembled.

Water barriers

Increasingly, plastic barriers can be seen on the streets instead of a regular rope with red rags. This method of warning about the danger is used very recently, but managed to get distribution. Such plastic fences for road works make it possible in a short time to limit or close traffic in a certain area.

Application

1. Road repair work;
2. Construction works;
3. Separation of car flows;
4. Fencing of sports and social events;

general information

This product is made by rotational molding of high-strength plastic. The barrier has a streamlined shape and is hollow inside.

Why precisely water-filled? Inside the structure, through special holes, pour water.

Water barrier

This gives stability to the barrier, and we depreciate the object falling into it at a speed. This feature helps to prevent serious damage to vehicles accidentally entering it.

Each barrier has a locking mechanism. Their presence allows you to combine several products into one design. In this case, they more fully perform their function.

The board

If necessary, the barriers can be rotated at an angle of about 15? relative to each other. Such a device locks allows you to protect the rectilinear part of the route, the pit or other curvilinear object.

Benefits

The most important advantage of barriers over reinforced concrete and wooden fences is their low weight. Drain the water, the barrier can be moved from place to place by one person. Do not need special equipment and a lot of hands.

The second advantage is their good review. A reflective coating is applied to the barrier, which allows you to see it at night.

Water filled fence with reflective strip

The color of the barrier is bright and contrasting with the environment is hard to miss. Special paints do not fade in the sun, and the color does not deteriorate due to weathering.

The board

Operation of this type of fencing can be carried out at a temperature of from -30 to +40 degrees Celsius. Barriers have become an innovative and convenient means of ensuring safety on roads and construction sites.

Conclusion

The use of plastic and metal road barriers makes it possible to adjust traffic effectively. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
