How are Protection Barriers Used in Parking Lots?
A common use of protection barriers in parking lots is to keep vehicles from entering reserved spots. Winged barriers are the type most commonly used for this purpose. One of the reasons they work so well is because they're easy to operate. When a reserved spot is empty, this type of protection barrier is simply raised into the air. Because they're made of steel, no vehicle is going to attempt to drive over one when it's raised. If something possesses a driver to make this bad decision, the barrier will rip up the underside of their vehicle.
When an authorized driver arrives at their spot, the winged barrier is simply let down. Putting this type of barrier down means it will lay flat against the ground. Because the base of a winged protection barrier is positioned in the middle of a parking space, an authorized driver will have no problem driving over the barrier once it's laid down. An added benefit of this type of protective barrier is if the driver has any concerns about their car being left in its reserved spot, the barrier can be raised back up to ensure the car can't be moved until the driver is ready to leave.
How are Protection Barriers Used on Roads?
Protection barriers are used on roads when there's an area that requires drivers to pay extra attention. For example, if one lane comes around a curve and pushes up next to a new incoming lane, barriers may be used make drivers in both lanes aware that they can't immediately merge over into the other lane. Removable protection barriers are one option that's used on many roads. A big reason for this type of barrier being used is because it can provide protection without causing any accidental damage.
Removable barriers are able to accomplish this because they're made from a flexible material. The benefit of this type of material is despite their bright color, there's still a chance a driver may hit one. If these barriers were made from a heavier material, they could damage the driver's car or cause them to swerve. But because removable barriers are made from a flexible but still durable material, they simply fall over when hit. However, the feature that makes them especially useful is their base. A special joint in it allows these barriers to pop back up immediately after being hit.
How are Protection Barriers Used Around Parks?
Steel barriers are one of the types that are most commonly used in parks. This type of protection barrier can be used to clearly designate areas where cars are not allowed to drive. Having steel barriers in a park allows people to enjoy being outside without worrying about drivers going into the wrong areas. Because steel protection barriers feature an anti-rust coating, they can protect park areas without making them look worn down.
