Steel Rub Rail is an innovative solution designed to enhance the safety of motorcycle riders by mitigating the risk of impacts with guardrail posts. This specialized barrier component is engineered to be retrofitted onto existing W-Beam barriers, providing added protection in areas frequented by motorcyclists and along tight radius curves.
One of the key features of Steel Rub Rail is its remarkable flexibility, allowing it to be field curved to a radius as tight as 20 meters. This adaptability ensures that it can conform to the curvature of the roadway, providing consistent protection along the length of the barrier installation. However, for radiuses tighter than 20 meters, custom curving is required to maintain optimal performance and rider safety.
The primary function of Steel Rub Rail is to act as a buffer between motorcycle riders and guardrail posts, absorbing impact energy and reducing the severity of collisions. By installing Steel Rub Rail, the risk of serious injury or fatality in motorcycle accidents can be significantly reduced, enhancing overall road safety for all road users.
Moreover, the integration of Steel Rub Rail with Plastic Buffer Rail further enhances its effectiveness. Plastic Buffer Rail is specifically designed to protect end terminal locations without compromising the performance of the terminal itself. By connecting Steel Rub Rail with Plastic Buffer Rail, comprehensive protection can be achieved along the entire length of a road safety barrier installation.
