Novel transition system for use between steel to concrete barriers

German firm PASS+CO has developed a novel product that can be used as a transition between steel and concrete barriers. Called the FLEXTRA SR-C, this product meets the European H2 rating under the EN1317 and connects the firm’s own SUPER-RAIL H4b double barrier with concrete structures. This can be installed in an array of applications, such as at the entrance to tunnels or tolling areas, where there is a need for a transition from one type of barrier to another.

    New developments in road equipment systems are the product of innovation in engineering and are helping boost safety. Despite an improvement in road safety over recent years, road accidents and their consequences remain a serious social problem. To limit the potential of accidents, the performance of road equipment such as safety barriers and lighting poles are defined by European standards (EN1317 and EN 12767). As CE-Marking to these standards is now based on performance requirements and not on national h
