ROAD BARRIER OR PEDESTRIAN BARRIER?

Choose the right barrier for the job

Choose this road barrier when:

The primary requirement is temporary pedestrian separation and traffic management around road, highway or street works.

Plan the complete work zone when:

The barrier forms part of a live traffic-management arrangement. Consider pedestrian routes, crossings, traffic cones, visibility, site hazards and access requirements as one system.

INSTALLATION & SITE PLANNING

Build a clear, practical pedestrian route

Connect the barriers using their hook-and-eye system and position them to create a clear separation between pedestrians and the work area. The barriers are free standing, so consider the full layout and surrounding conditions when positioning them.

For temporary public pedestrian routes, the existing Wade guidance recommends a minimum walkway width of 1m and at least 1.5m where possible. Routes should be planned carefully around kerbs, level changes, crossing points and access requirements, including those of mobility-impaired pedestrians.

Where a temporary walkway infringes on a live carriageway, the existing product guidance recommends using traffic cones to help create the appropriate safety zone.
