Disclosed is a shock-absorbing barrier. According to the present invention, the shock-absorbing barrier is configured wherein guardrails onto which shock-absorbing members like waste tires or waste rubber are mounted are attached to barrier walls and pillar bodies made by attaching pillar tubes to pillars are connectedly erected by means of the barrier walls on which the guardrails are mounted, so that if an external collision occurs, rotary rods are changed to a shape of a cone around the axis of the pillar tube rail to extend a shock-absorbing section, and the external collision is distributed by the compression and tension of both side rails to decrease the deviation displacement of the barrier wall boundary and to allow the pressure of the collision portion to be distributedly absorbed to the parts connected by the guardrails.

A system for illuminating a carriageway in a case of fog includes a road safety barrier arranged along the carriageway, at least one fog density detecting device arranged along the road safety barrier, and a plurality of light sources borne by the road safety barrier, distributed along the road safety barrier, and oriented for each to emit a light beam having a direction that is transversal to an extension axis of the road safety barrier so as to illuminate signage on the carriageway. A control unit that is connected to the light sources and to the fog density detecting device is configured to activate the light sources when the fog density detecting device detects a fog density value of above a threshold value.

A rope safety device (10,10-1) installed as a sub-roof element on a roof (T), a covering or a similar structure, comprising: a fixing and damping plate (11), perforated, fixed to the roof structure (T): and a rope (12) associated with the fixing and damping plate, wherein the rope (12) has an attachment portion (12a), in the form of an eyelet (12), via which an operator can attach to the rope (12), so as to operate in a safe condition on the roof on which the device is installed: wherein the plate (11) has a configuration with one or more holes (13, 13b) used to insert the rope (12) and wherein the rope (12) is configured and set with respect to the plate, in whose holes (13b) is inserted, in such a way that the rope (12), when it is subject by the operator, attached to the same rope, to a given traction force (FT), slides (f) along a certain stroke (D) in the holes (13b) of the fixing and damping plate (11) before being retained by the latter. in a further embodiment (10-2), suitable for application in combination with a rope safety line (LS) or life line system, the safety device to the rope (10) can comprise, as an alternative to the plate perforated, a calibrated damp (16), associated with the rope (12) and defining an eyelet (12e) for coupling the device (10, 10-2) to the rope (F) the safety-line, in which the terminal (16) the cable (12) flows (f) in a controlled way when it is subject, on the part of an operator attached to the same rope (12), to a traction force (FT).
