Guardrails & Fencing
Keeping pedestrians safe, particularly in busy areas is often a high priority for businesses, local councils and other organisations. Pedestrian guardrails can help with this. These are a popular addition to public walkways and are commonly installed in-between roads and pavements to prevent people from walking into the path of vehicles and vice-versa. Here's a bit of info about our safety guardrails...
There are lots of 'standard' design safety gurdrails which you can buy 'off the peg' - but in most cases, you will need specific, bespoke sizes or designs - and we can help you with your project. From personalised designs, to weird and wonderful shapes, we can provide a quote for every job...
Guardrails in busy areas
In busy areas where there is a high volume of traffic or more dangerous areas with blind spots, pedestrian guardrails can direct pedestrians towards designated crossing points to keep them safe and protected.
Guardrails provide visibility...
Our pedestrian guardrails are designed to provide good visibility for motorists while acting as a security barrier. They are durable and weather-resistant, ensuring their installation will keep pedestrians protected for a long period of time.
5 Key Uses of Metal Pedestrian Guardrails
- Roadside Safety: Metal pedestrian guardrails are generally installed along roadsides, particularly near junctions and pedestrian crossings, to prevent people from inadvertently stepping into traffic. They help channel pedestrians towards designated crossing points, reducing the risk of accidents.
- School Areas: In areas near schools, pedestrian guardrails are used to protect children and other pedestrians by directing them to safe crossing points. These guardrails ensure that school children follow a specific path, minimising the chances of them running into the street.
- Public Transport Stops: Guardrails are installed near bus stops and train stations to manage the flow of pedestrian traffic and prevent people from straying onto the road or tracks. They help keep waiting areas organised and safe.
- Walkways and Paths: In busy urban areas, guardrails are used to separate pedestrian walkways from vehicular traffic or hazardous zones. They help maintain order and safety, especially in areas with high foot traffic.
- Bridge and Overpass Safety: Guardrails are often placed along bridges, overpasses, and elevated walkways to prevent pedestrians from accidentally falling off the edge. These railings provide essential safety features in potentially dangerous locations.
