Our core mission
Road Barriers & Workzone Safety Hardware
The core mission for Safe Barriers is to develop new crash tested road safety products that provide value solutions to the road construction industry to solve road safety related issues.
Road Traffic & Highway Barriers - Workzone Safety Products
In today’s high-traffic construction zones, reliable and durable road safety products are essential. At Safe Barriers, we provide advanced solutions with our robust range of Road Barriers and essential work zone safety hardware, offering effective protection for workers and road users alike. As a trusted provider, Safe Barriers supplies the industry’s leading road safety solutions, including Steel Road Barriers, Jersey Wall Barriers, and other critical safety products that are essential to ensuring a secure and efficient work environment.
Anchored Defender Barrier: Low-Deflection Safety
The Anchored Defender Barrier is designed for high-speed work zones, providing superior stability and protection. This metal road barrier, compliant with MASH 16 TL-3 and TL-4 standards, is rigorously tested to withstand impacts up to 100 kph from heavier vehicles, providing safety in demanding conditions. With its ability to provide positive protection, this system effectively prevents vehicles from entering hazardous areas. Featuring easy installation, this system offers adaptable configurations to accommodate work zone needs, either through frequent pinning (Defender 100LDS) or with reduced anchoring (Defender 100HC). In addition, it performs effectively on soil surfaces without asphalt, a feature unique to this steel road barrier solution. With a transport-optimized design, each truckload can carry up to 234 meters (767’) of these metal road barriers, maximizing efficiency and minimizing transport costs.
Safe Screen Anti-Debris System: Enhanced Protection from Work Zone Hazards
The Safe Screen Anti-Debris System (ADS) is built from lightweight perforated steel, preventing debris from entering or leaving the work zone while allowing visibility for workers and reduced visibility for “gawking” drivers into the workzone. Designed to retrofit easily to existing barriers, this road traffic barrier screen system offers lasting performance with galvanized, powder-coated steel for durability in any climate. By integrating seamlessly with positive protection measures, it ensures a safer work environment with minimal disruptions.

SafeBarrier FAQs
What are road barriers, and why are they used?
Road barriers are physical structures designed to enhance traffic safety by separating lanes, protecting construction zones, or preventing vehicles from leaving the roadway. Common types include concrete, steel, and water-filled barriers. They serve critical purposes, such as reducing crash severity, guiding traffic flow, and shielding pedestrians or workers in high-risk areas. Many barriers, such as those offered by Safe Barriers, are designed to provide positive protection by physically separating motorized traffic from hazardous areas and meeting rigorous crash testing standards. Temporary and permanent barriers are tailored for specific projects and applications, offering customizable solutions for enhanced safety and efficient traffic management.
What are the regulations or standards for road barriers?
Road barriers must adhere to safety standards like MASH16 (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) or EN1317 (European standard for road restraint systems). These standards ensure barriers meet rigorous crash-testing requirements, covering factors such as deflection limits, occupant risk factors, and impact severity. By complying with these regulations, barriers provide proven performance, protecting road users and construction workers. Positive protection measures, such as anchored steel or movable barriers, are often the best performing barriers when tested to these standards. . At Safe Barriers, we design products to exceed these benchmarks, guaranteeing effective solutions for temporary and permanent applications.
How can I determine the best type of road barrier for my project?
Choosing the right road barrier depends on factors like site location, traffic speed,traffic volume and safety requirements. For high-speed zones, steel or concrete barriers may be ideal due to their durability and minimal deflection. Free Standing Steel barriers or Water-filled barriers suit urban or low-speed environments where flexibility is needed. All projects benefit from incorporating positive protection measures to create a safer environment for workers and motorists alike. Consult our barrier experts at Safe Barriers to evaluate project specifics and recommend optimal solutions, balancing safety, cost, and ease of deployment.
How effective are jersey barriers in reducing the severity of crashes?
Jersey barriers, a widely recognized type of concrete barrier, are effective in reducing crash severity. Their sloped design redirects errant vehicles upon impact, and absorbing collision energy to reduce the force experienced by vehicle occupants. These barriers are effective in preventing vehicles from entering workzones, reducing the severity of workzone crashes. They are also effective in preventing vehicles crossing into opposing traffic lanes when permanently installed in the median, significantly reducing the likelihood of head-on collisions. However, steel jersey barriers provide a superior alternative by offering greater flexibility in deployment, better absorption and redirection of impact forces, and lower long-term maintenance costs. Their modular, anchored design ensures stronger resistance to vehicle penetration while being easier to install and reposition, making them an ideal choice for both temporary and permanent safety applications.
