Common Use Cases
Construction Zones
Jersey barriers are beneficial in construction zones for many reasons. They are a highly effective safety measure and can be strategically placed to protect both construction workers and passing motorists from potential hazards. By delineating work areas and creating a physical barrier, jersey barriers help minimize the risk of accidents, particularly in high-traffic zones. They are instrumental in redirecting vehicle flow, guiding traffic safely around construction sites, and preventing vehicles from inadvertently entering dangerous areas.
Airports
Jersey barriers play an important role in enhancing security and efficient operations at airports. These versatile tools are instrumental in various aspects of airport management. They can be used to define clear boundaries, separating secure and non-secure areas to control access and safeguard passengers and personnel.
Public Events
Utilizing jersey barriers for public events helps promote safety, security, and efficient crowd control. Whether it's a music festival, sporting event, parade, or any large gathering, jersey barriers serve multiple essential functions. They help establish well-defined perimeters, keeping attendees within designated areas and preventing unauthorized access to off-limit areas. Additionally, jersey barriers aid in guiding foot traffic, creating organized queues and directing the flow of people.
Road Medians
Using jersey barriers for median division is a crucial aspect of road safety and traffic management. Median barriers, such as concrete jersey barriers or guardrails, serve as a protective buffer between opposing lanes of traffic, preventing head-on collisions and ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers.
