Details
Road safety barriers are a proven Safe System solution, playing a critical role in reducing the severity of crashes. However, when installed incorrectly, they can increase crash severity and introduce new safety risks. In this webinar, international road safety engineering expert Kenn Beer will explore best practices from around the world in the planning, design and installation of road safety barriers. Join us to learn how to get the most safety benefit from these essential systems and avoid common pitfalls.
