How crash barriers help road safety

Crash barriers are seen across the country on almost every road, particularly on dual carriageways and motorways. Their purpose is to reduce the risk of crashes and collisions, and in the event of an incident happening, they help to reduce their intensity by deflecting the impact. Most commonly made from concrete or metal, crash barriers need to be strong, securely installed, and versatile enough to be placed in the right configuration for each road. If a car happens to veer towards the side of the road, possibly because of icy conditions or trying to avoid a collision, it will hit the barrier. On impact, the car should either slow down and come to a stop or redirect back onto the road, rather than veering off down an embankment or other dangerous area. This is due to the design of the barriers which allows them to absorb the impact so there is less damage to the vehicle.
