A bridge barrier is a longitudinal structure installed to prevent an errant vehicle from running off the edge of a bridge or culvert. While this is similar to the function of a roadside barrier, a bridge barrier is normally designed to have virtually no deflection upon impact. They are generally constructed from metal posts or railings, concrete safety shape or a combination of both.
Typically, metal safety barriers are used for the construction of low, regular and performance level barriers. The performance levels, which are described in AS5100.1 are as follows;
Low Performance Level – NCHRP 350 Test Level 2
Regular performance Level – NCHRP 350 Test Level 4
Medium Performance Level – NCHRP 350 Test Level 5
