Ontario / Jersey road wall barriers- Pics inside

[Chemical]

This is what is needed for the North/South & East/West H/ways in T'dad......NOT wire guard rails like what is placed on the North Coast road to Maracus.

A Jersey barrier or Jersey wall is a modular concrete barrier employed to separate lanes of traffic. It is designed to both minimize vehicle damage in cases of incidental contact while still preventing crossover in the case of head-on accidents.

Also utilized extensively to re-route traffic and protect pedestrians during highway construction, such barriers are increasingly deployed in anti-terrorism roles as both quick fixes and semi-permanent protections against perceived landborne threats.

Jersey barriers are known colloquially by a variety of names in the U.S., including K-rail in the western states.











Most needed especially if you have this equipped under the hood !

The wifey has been trying to convince her company to make these a while now.

[Chemical]

What CBH....the barriers or the Toyota Engine ?

[MG Man]

ROTFL
I think she tryin to convince CBH to make sense

[crazybalhead]

Steups, the barriers.

[Chemical]

Look @ this freeway interchange @ H/W 410 in Canada



Look how they pave roads...they dig / disopse of old asphalt to recycle & pave @ the same time.

[Bezman]

uhhhh you need to take a drive down in the west

they have these magical concrete barriers you speak of and even sometimes practice the lost art of paving properly

A completed minor road in Maple.



Hiway 410 extension in Brampton.



Hiway 401 . I think this is the largest of the 400 series hiways.



We used to have this restaurant here.



and soon to come...Wendy's

To some of thes ppl anything past chaguanus is town/ west. Gotta be clear with them.

wtf Trinis living in TRINIDAD cannot spell the name of the most popular local beach correctly

[crazybalhead]

Yuh mean ManzaLINA beach?

[eliteauto]

and btw approval has already been given to construct barriers along the UBH north/south

Easy does guy..just a typo error.

[originalbling]

what about the depth of some of the median along the UBH/Solomon Hochoy? That would take a considerable amount of material to fill/pave before a wall or Jersey barrier goes up.

dais a big gap between 'A' and 'U'

Highway cables can be deadly

The proposed installation of high-tension cable barriers is an excellent crash prevention measure for rural and confined areas with low to moderate vehicular speeds (non-highway speeds) such as hilly/mountainous areas along the north coast roads in Trinidad and similar hilly terrains in Tobago.

Metal beam barriers and concrete barrier systems are best suited for highway environments, for both the shoulders and the more critical medians, in order to prevent vehicles crossing over onto opposing lanes.

The practice of utilising the metal beam barriers and concrete barriers systems on highways has been used very successfully in North America, Europe and South America.

The potential problem with high tension cable barriers (which are used on highways where speeds are high) is the very high pressure certain situations generate. This pressure (P=F/A) can be defined as force over (divided by) area. A vehicle travelling along our nation's highways (80 km/h-plus) would have a certain force (calculated by the weight and size of the vehicle multiplied by its speed). The area is defined as the surface area of the barrier system (either high tension cable barriers, metal beam barriers or concrete barriers). The smaller the surface area (such as a couple of one-inch (25 mm) diameter cables), the higher the pressure, and the larger the surface area metal beam barriers (12 inches or 305 mm) and concrete barriers (minimum of 34 inches or 850 mm) the lower the pressure.

Vehicles travelling along our nation's highways at speeds in excess of 80 km/h, when coming into contact with the proposed high-tension cable barriers, can be sliced by these cables (like a hot wire cutting through cheese). This can result in severe injuries.

I would like to suggest that a risk analysis be undertaken prior to the procurement and installation of the high tension cable barriers on our highways.

Jan Landreth-Smith

While Mr. Smith does propose some quantitative calculations to buffer his position . The cables can be high or low tensile with spring attachments , they have been tried and proven for 4 or more wheeled vehicles , if a bike were to come into contact with them however , we would then be looking of parts

i see that Tim Hortons sign there and i get hungry for some good coffee

[Rory Phoulorie]

So where's the car being sliced up into salami? Speed at which test was conducted was 115km/h. Local speed limit on highways for passenger cars is 80km/h.

[Sinister_Audio]

yea was watchin that...n was on the way back from niagra and was takin note of all the crashes and marks on them and they took all the damage and remained unharmed....
