The Safe System policy recommends the installation of continuous barrier to shield roadside hazards. On major freeways the installation of concrete barriers is preferred providing low deflection during a vehicle impact with minimal barrier damage.
Emergency Access Median Gates are designed to maintain safe vehicle containment and redirection through the barrier length-of-need section whilst facilitating emergency vehicle access or contraflow traffic. Emergency Access Median Gates should facilitate ease of operation with manual operation often preferred eliminating the potential for electrical or mechanical failure.
