ROADSIDE PEDESTRIAN FENCING
PEDESTRIAN FENCING Roadside Safety Fencing INTRODUCTION The NSW Transport Roads and Maritime Services places a very strong focus on pedestrian safety. In order to reduce the number of road accidents and fatalities involving pedestrians, Roads and Maritime Services has implemented a wide range of programs and projects that deliver pedestrian safety benefits. Pedestrians are often difficult to see and their behaviour patterns are unpredictable, thus making them particularly vulnerable in the road environment as other road users are moving significantly faster than pedestrians. One of these systems that has been introduced to improve pedestrian safety is the careful placement of Pedestrian Fencing which prevents ad hoc access of pedestrians to roadways, and channels their movements to safer crossing locations.
DETAILS Designed, crash tested and approved for use by the NSW Roads and Maritime Services, Pedestrian Safety Fencing is available in 6 different Types, each with a verge or median option. Posts are available with Base Plates or In-ground applications. Standard Posts are designed to for installation on level areas to a maximum of 7.87% (4.50º) rake for surface mount situations or 10% (5.7°) for in-ground applications. As a result of a certain degree of deflection obtained between post and panel, the fence can be installed from a straight line to a minimum 15.3m radius. The design includes the use staggered vertical balusters which offers motorists unimpeded vision through the fencing. This allows motorists and pedestrians approaching on opposite sides to see each other which provides motorists the opportunity to regulate their speed accordingly. The Pedestrian Fence Panels have been designed to incorporate robust steel sections, able to withstand vehicle impacts. Should a vehicle impact occur, the panels are designed to collapse as a whole panel to minimise the detachment of individual elements. This not only protects pedestrians, but also prevents the crash vehicle from becoming impaled. The anti-climb characteristics of the design provides the suitability for use around school zones, shopping centres, entertainment areas and tourist locations.
