Versatility is important in the realm of road building, the ability to rapidly deploy, adjust, and remove barrier around work zone can greatly impact how efficiently a project is completed. However, with safety as the guiding principle of a lot of roadwork, it is vital that it isn’t compromised when working on a particularly dynamic project. The great thing about steel barrier, particularly the HighwayGuard™ steel barrier, is that it combines both principles of efficiency and safety – making it an excellent product to use both for traffic control or work zone safety.
The HighwayGuard™ steel barrier is an innovative safety barrier designed by Valtir to make improve traffic flow around work zones by easily creating temporary lanes. Made of lightweight, galvanized steel, this barrier is strong enough to redirect vehicles but also portable and easy to install in part due to the patented T-Connector. It can be deployed in 20 and 40-foot sections, allowing it to be customized to suit varying road widths and conditions. It is compatible with end treatments such as the QuadGuard® and connects to the BarrierGuard 800® steel barrier. With a weight of only 62 lbs, the HighwayGuard™ allows for quick and efficient lane changes in areas of high traffic during road work. Moreover, it is tested to meet MASH 16 TL-3 and TL-4, indicating its ability to potentially reduce the severity of crashes and help keep road users safe. Ultimately, when it comes to steel barrier, the HighwayGuard™ is an excellent choice. RoadBlock Solutions is proud to offer this product for sale.

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is an occasion to honor those who have tragically lost their lives inroad accidents, to support survivors, and to renew the global commitment to improving road safety. This day highlights the human toll of road crashes and provides a platform for reflection and action.
With over 1.35 million road traffic deaths reported annually, the impact of these accidents extends far beyond the individuals involved. Families are torn apart, communities are affected, and entire nations face immense economic costs. However, World Day of Remembrance is not just about grieving; it is also a time for hope and for advocacy.
The day encourages governments, organizations, and citizens to push for meaningful changes that can prevent future tragedies. It’s a call to enhance legislation surrounding speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving; improve road infrastructure, especially for vulnerable users such as pedestrians and cyclists; and ensure that vehicles are equipped with life-saving technologies like automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance.
As we remember those who have passed, WorldDay of Remembrance serves as a powerful reminder that each of us has a role to play in reducing road traffic deaths and building a safer future for all.
