The Benefits of Pedestrian Guard Rails
The benefits of pedestrian guard rails are as follows:
Enhanced Pedestrian Safety
This type of guard rail provides a barrier between pedestrians and vehicle traffic, which helps to increase pedestrian safety in areas where there is a potential risk of vehicle accidents. This is particularly important in areas with high pedestrian traffic, such as shopping centres, schools, and public spaces.
