Traffic guardrails are important facilities for maintaining traffic order and ensuring traffic safety. They play a key role in separating lanes, guiding traffic, preventing vehicles from deviating from the road, and protecting pedestrian safety on the road. With the continuous development of science and technology and changes in traffic needs, the types of traffic guardrails are becoming increasingly rich and diverse. So what are the types of traffic guardrails? In response to this question, let the guardrail manufacturer give us a detailed introduction!

Common types of traffic guardrails are mainly the following:

Corrugated beam guardrail

Corrugated beam guardrail is a semi-rigid guardrail composed of corrugated beam plates, columns, barrier blocks and other components. It absorbs collision energy through the deformation of the corrugated beam plate and has good anti-collision performance. Corrugated beam guardrails are often used on highways and first-class highways, which can effectively reduce the severity of accidents.

Concrete guardrail

Concrete guardrail is a rigid guardrail, usually assembled on-site with reinforced concrete prefabricated components. It has the advantages of high strength, good stability, and strong anti-collision ability. It is suitable for sections with high anti-collision requirements such as median dividers and bridges.

Cable guardrail

Cable guardrail is a flexible guardrail composed of multiple steel wire ropes fixed on the column. Cable guardrail has good buffering performance, can absorb large energy when the vehicle collides, and causes less damage to the vehicle and passengers. However, the visual induction of cable guardrail is relatively poor, and it is often used in scenic sections or places with high landscape requirements.

Combined guardrail

Combined guardrail combines the characteristics of the above-mentioned guardrails, and is usually composed of components such as corrugated beams, concrete or metal beams and columns. This kind of guardrail can be flexibly configured according to different road conditions and traffic needs to achieve the best protection effect.

Urban road guardrail

Urban road guardrails are mainly used to separate motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes, pedestrian lanes, and common ones include iron guardrails, plastic steel guardrails, etc. These guardrails not only ensure traffic safety, but also have a certain aesthetics and can be coordinated with the urban environment.

Bridge guardrail

Bridge guardrails are designed according to the structure and use requirements of the bridge, and there are many forms such as metal beam-column guardrails, concrete guardrails, and combined guardrails. Bridge guardrails need to have high strength and anti-collision capabilities to ensure the safety of vehicles traveling on bridges.

Characteristics and applicable scenarios of different traffic guardrails:

Corrugated beam guardrail

Features: The corrugated beam guardrail has strong impact resistance and can effectively prevent vehicles from passing through the guardrail. It has beautiful appearance, easy installation and relatively low cost.

Applicable scenarios: Roadside and median strips of trunk roads such as expressways, first-class highways, and second-class highways.

Concrete guardrail

Features: Concrete guardrails have high strength and good stability and can withstand large collision forces. However, they are heavy, difficult to construct, and have high repair costs.

Applicable scenarios: Median strips, bridges, tunnels and other sections with extremely high requirements for anti-collision performance.

Cable guardrail

Features: The cable guardrail has good flexibility and buffering performance, which can reduce the impact force when vehicles collide. It has good visual permeability and little impact on the landscape.
