An anchorless crash cushion apparatus having a plurality of interconnected water-filled crash cushion elements and a non-water filled forward-most cushion element includes vehicle capture structure resisting upward tilting of an impacting vehicle and ramping of the impacting vehicle and stabilizing structure resisting relative rotation between the crash cushion elements in both vertical and lateral planes during vehicle impact. A transition weldment is employed to connect the anchorless crash cushion apparatus to a rigid hazard object.

Fence comprising at least a first and a second fence module (1), wherein said fence modules (1) comprise a base (2) with a receptacle for a substance, wherein the first fence module (1) comprises a first connecting element (3a) with an upright passage (4a), the second fence module (1) comprises a second connecting element (3b) with an upright passage (4b), and the fence comprises a connecting rod (5) for extending through both said passages (4a, 4b) to connect the fence modules (1) to each other, and in that in a connected state of the fence modules (1), these fence modules (1) can occupy at least two positions with regard to each other, being a first position where the distance between the said passages (4a, 4b) along the connecting rod (5) is minimal and a second position where the distance between the said passages (4a, 4b) along the connecting rod (5) is maximal.

A crash barrier section (1) comprising a deflection body with at least one traveling gear (3) that is movable between a standby position and a displacement position. The at least one traveling gear (3) is retracted into the standby position in a receptacle (4) of the deflection body and is extended in the travel position from the receptacle (4) in such a manner that the crash barrier section (1) is movable on a support (5), in particular a road section. The crash barrier section (1) additionally comprises a lifting device (6) by which the crash barrier section (1) can be raised from the support (5) for extending and retracting the traveling gear (3).

A modular railing system for on-site assembly of a railing system along a roadway is provided. The modular railing system can include a deck with an edge beam along one side and a railing that can be attached to the edge beam. Attachment of the railing to the edge beam raises the joint between the deck and the railing to inhibit water seepage into the joint. In a specific embodiment, UHPC can be used to attach the railing to the edge beam.

Molded plastic barrier segments, typically water or sand-ballasted, are engineered to be attached together, end-to-end, in a barrier array, with innovative features which result in low rotation between attached barrier segments. Such a low rotation barrier array will, upon impact by a vehicle, act as a re-directive barrier, rather than a capturing barrier, which is an important safety feature in some crash scenarios.

The invention relates to a barrier element (1) for bounding a carriageway comprising an elongated casing (2), including two opposing longitudinal side walls (3) and a, the two side walls joining, upper wall (4); and at least one casing support structure located in the elongate casing and connecting to both the side walls. The invention further relates to a support structure for use in a barrier element.

A safety trailer is shown including first and second platforms, at least one of said first and second platforms having an axle and wheels attached thereto; a plurality of interconnected wall sections positioned between and connected to the first and second platforms, the plurality of wall sections defining a protected work area on a side of the trailer; and wherein the trailer supports a ballast member, the ballast member being positioned near a first side of the trailer and the wall sections near a second, opposing side of the trailer, the ballast member offsetting, at least partially, a weight of the plurality of wall sections.

Connection apparatus is provided for connecting two or more items together in use. The connection apparatus comprises a body portion, engagement means provided on or associated with the body portion to allow connection of the body portion to a first item in use, and attachment means provided on or associated with the body portion to allow attachment of the body portion to at least a second item in use. The attachment means includes at least one pin or locking member for removable location with an aperture, recess and/or channel provided on or associated with the at least second item.

In an example, a system of road barriers includes a corner barrier segment, which includes a central member, a first member extending from the central member, and second member extending from the central member. The first member and the second member are configured to rotate about an axis of the central member relative to each other. The system also includes a first barrier segment coupled to the first member of the corner barrier segment via fasteners on both the first barrier segment and the first member. The system further includes a second barrier segment coupled to the second member of the corner barrier segment via fasteners on both the second barrier segment and the second member.

A traffic barrier system of series connectable barriers, each barrier having a body with a skirt section, an intermediate section comprising a lower portion, a central portion, and an upper portion, and a head section extending above the intermediate section. The skirt section and lower portion have positive slopes. The upper portion and head section have negative slopes. A vertical end channel is formed on each of the opposite first and second ends. A lower tension bar is cast in the skirt section and an upper tension bar is cast in the head section. Within the body of the barrier, the tension bars are articulated in relation to each other. The tension bars have tabs extending out of the body for overlapping pivotal connection to an adjacent barrier.
