JSP barriers used around road works are not designed to stop a vehicle from entering the site or colliding with workers. These barriers act as a visual indicator to alert drivers to the presence of road works and to guide traffic safely around the work area.

Their primary function is to:

Make the site clearly visible to approaching road users, especially in low-light conditions.

Help prevent workers from unintentionally stepping into live traffic while focused on their tasks.

While they provide a physical boundary, they are not crash-rated and should never be relied upon as protection against vehicles. For situations requiring higher levels of protection, such as works on high-speed roads, additional traffic management measures or crash-rated systems should be implemented in accordance with relevant regulations.

Key Points:

• JSP barriers are visual guides, not physical crash barriers.
• Designed to warn drivers of road works and guide them safely past.
• Help prevent workers from stepping into traffic zones.
• Not intended to stop vehicles—additional protection may be required on high-speed roads.
• Always follow official traffic management guidelines for your specific site.
