Description

Median barrier is parallel with the highway and used to separate opposing directions of traffic on a divided highway or motorway. It is designed to reduce the risk of errant vehicles especially head-on crash which would be terrible if happens.

Though it is effective and maintenance-free after installation, it should be a little more expensive in the initial cost and more severe injuries.
