Highway guardrails are vital safety features designed to protect motorists and minimize the severity of accidents on roadways. These barriers play a crucial role in preventing vehicles from veering off the road, reducing the risk of collisions with hazardous objects or other vehicles. While their importance is widely recognized, many people may wonder about the materials used to construct highway guardrails
What is Highway Guardrails?
A guardrail is a longitudinal, roadside barrier system that is installed to prevent errant vehicles from impacting roadside obstacles. By redirecting a vehicle departing the roadway, a guardrail keeps it away from more serious hazards, both constructed (e.g., sign structures, culvert inlets, utility poles) and natural (e.g., trees, rock outcrop). Guardrail prevents vehicles from descending a steep roadside embankment or veering into the roadway median and oncoming traffic. In some cases, guardrail is installed for reasons other than to safeguard motorists against obstacles (e.g., road closure barricades and barriers protecting pedestrians or sensitive areas).
When a vehicle impacts a guardrail, its driver and passengers encounter some risk. Guardrail does not eliminate the possibility of injuries or fatalities. A road engineer’s primary goal is to provide an adequate clear zone free of any obstacles and areas of concern. The only circumstance under which a guardrail should be installed is if it presents a lower risk to vehicles than unshielded roadside obstacles. Always consider alternatives to guardrail installation before deciding to install guardrail (e.g., removal or relocation of the obstacles). Where it is not practical to provide a full clear zone, the use of guardrail or another roadside barrier offers an attractive option as it significantly increases the safety of vehicles departing the roadway.
