Category: Vehicular Impact Guardrail

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Singapore has established a set of guidelines and standards for vehicular guardrails aimed at enhancing road safety. These guardrails are designed to protect motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists from potential accidents, particularly in areas where there is a higher risk of vehicles veering off the road.

A double vehicular guardrail consists of two rows of guardrails positioned parallel to each other along roadways or bridges. This design provides an added layer of protection for both vehicles and pedestrians, effectively reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall safety on the roads.

A single vehicular guardrail is a type of roadside barrier designed to prevent vehicles from veering off the road into hazardous areas, such as cliffs, ditches, or oncoming traffic. Unlike double guardrails, which consist of two rails, single guardrails typically feature one rail at a specified height above the roadway. This design effectively absorbs impact energy and redirects vehicles back onto the road, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and fatalities.

A highway crash cushion guardrail is a specially designed barrier placed along the roadside or on the shoulder of highways to absorb the impact of vehicles that veer off the road. Unlike traditional guardrails that can create a rebound effect, crash cushions are engineered to reduce the severity of collisions by dissipating energy and minimizing the force of impact.

Highway vehicular impact guardrails, commonly referred to as guardrails, are protective barriers installed along roadways to prevent vehicles from veering off the road and colliding with hazardous areas such as steep embankments, bridges, or other vehicles. These barriers are engineered to absorb the impact of a vehicle collision, reducing the likelihood of injuries and fatalities.
