The present invention in at least one embodiment provides a post assembly 10, 10.0, 10.00, 10.000, 10.0000, 110, 210, 310 for a parking lot barrier system 11, the post 12 of the post assembly 10, 10.0, 10.00, 10.000, 10.0000, 110, 210, 310 being of any appropriate section and being characterized in that at or near to the base 12.1 of the post 12 there is located at least one aperture 30, 32 which is sized and shaped so as to allow the post 12 to deform elastically under collision loads at low speeds sign posted in parking lots

A crash barrier system includes upper posts, box beams, upper tube profiles and barrier rails. The box beams are connected to the upper posts on a front side of the crash barrier system. The upper tube profiles are connected to the box beams. The barrier rails are fastened to the upper tube profiles. The upper posts are arranged axially parallel to one another at a uniform axial post spacing along the box beams. The upper tube profiles are arranged axially parallel to one another at a uniform axial tube spacing along the box beams. The post spacing differs from the tube spacing.

The field of application of the present invention relates to the best practices that can be adopted in the construction of roads. also taking into particular consideration the fact that not only the road surface needs adequate consolidation, as it is normally done, but also the docks. In fact, the roadside must be considered part of the road system, and its characteristics have a great influence on the overall road safety. In particular, the road system according to the invention provides that, before laying the asphalt surface. a reticular mesh structure is laid over the road surface made up of material with good tensile strength and this reticular structure is designed to cover the entire roadbed from side to side in its Width, and to protrude significantly beyond the area in which it is envisaged to lay the asphalt, so that, once the asphalt has been laid, said reticular structure protrudes from the asphalted roadway so as to cover, at least in part, even the roadside. Furthermore, said reticular structure, in its edges, which, after installation, run parallel to the edge of the road, and externally to the paved site, is designed to facilitate the firm coupling of other elements of the road system. Said reticular mesh structure 300 is retained by the overlying road surface 210, but not only. In fact, since it envelops the entire strip of the elevated ground on which the road is built, it allows the entire mass of terrain on which the entire road system is built to collaborate in the overall resistance. It is thus proposed a road system in which parts that have historically been conceived in a substantially autonomous way (ground substrate platform, paving, and safety barriers) collaborate synergistically in the creation of a safe road system as a whole.

Disclosed is an apparatus for installing a vehicle restraint at a desired location, the apparatus comprising a length of a pre-fabricated base unit locatable in or on the ground at the desired location, the base unit having a plurality of attachment positions at intervals for attachment thereto of at least one substantially vertical support post for supporting the vehicle restraint.

A system and method for anchoring a traffic barrier to a road is disclosed. The traffic barrier has a footer and a wall extending inward and upward from the footer to a top surface. Anchor recesses intersect the footer. A footer port extends through the footer beneath the anchor recess. An insert having a head portion and probe is positioned in the anchor recess and footer port. An insert port extends through the head portion and probe in angular relation to the longitudinal centerline of the barrier. The insert port aligns a drill for drilling a subsurface hole at a predetermined angle extending beneath the traffic barrier. Epoxy is inserted into the hole and a threaded rod is inserted through the insert port to be adhered to the road by the epoxy. A threaded fastener is connected to the threaded rod above the insert.

A protective barrier includes a rigid upright member including a post, a fitting having a housing with a first outer surface and a first inner surface. The housing includes a first hole extending from the first outer surface to the first inner surface; a first end, a second end and an inner chamber defined by the inner surface of the housing and extending from the first end to the second end; the first end having a flange sized and shaped for attachment to an outer surface of the rigid upright; at least one support member disposed within the inner chamber and extending from the first end toward the second end of the housing, the support member including a second hole. The protective barrier also comprises a hollow rail including a third end sized and shaped for being received within the inner chamber, the hollow plastic rail including a third hole; and a fastener extending through the first hole, second hole and third hole such that the hollow plastic rail is secured to the fitting.
