Crash Cushion Barrier
- Cat Class:
- 554-4276
Product description
Safety crash barriers safeguard vehicles on the road and keep them from crashing with each other and dangerous obstacles and structures. A crash cushion mitigates the effects of the impact by absorbing kinetic energy to protect nearby buildings, vehicles, drivers, and road workers in the event of a collision. Crash cushions are common roadside sightings since they are put in front of various immovable structures including flyover supports, jersey barrier endpoints, and gore points to prevent vehicles from crashing into them and help reduce head on collisions of errant vehicles. Crash cushions often make use of gating systems to let a crashing vehicle into a clear zone, which allows it to decelerate without hitting any obstructions.
