Why Water-Filled Barriers Are a Safer Choice for Temporary Traffic Control

Weighing 40 pounds empty and 450 pounds with water, water barricades are a smart and safe option for directing traffic. XZL ROADSAFETY offers these delimiters for a variety of reasons. How and why they are a good choice Let’s see.

Clear and Soft:

A reason these barriers are safe is that they are easy to see. Their bright hues make them easy for drivers to see on the street, alerting motorists to potential hazards up ahead. These barriers are filled with water, which can absorb an impact if a car crashes into it. That way if a car hits the barrier, water acts as a cushion absorbing the impact, and it’s unlikely anyone would be hurt.

Keeps Cars Out, Workers Safe:

Another reason that water-filled barriers are great is that they stop cars from crashing through. They’re heavy and sturdy, so it’s difficult for cars to pass over them. This ensures that both driver’s and workers’ safety while on the road. Through XZL ROADSAFETY’s water FILLABLE barriers you’ll create a safety space for everyone.

Quick and Easy to Set Up:

Traffic control can be a time-consuming process to establish. But water-filled barriers are easy to set up, and quickly. They’re light and can be easily moved. And because they are filled with water, they can be emptied and re-filled as necessary. This makes them perfect for construction crews who need to quickly set up and take down barriers.

Strong Against Bad Weather:

XZL ROADSAFETY water-filled barriers are designed to be strong and stand the test of adverse weather. They are built tough and designed to take a licking in rain or snow or high wind. This will keep them in place to continue protecting workers and drivers,’’ even on bad weather days. Opt for water-filled barriers and you can rely on your traffic control to last safe and strong.

Good for the Environment:

And Automatic Lifting Bollard are a solid option for the planet as well. Unlike heavy concrete barriers, these are movable and lightweight. That’s because they require less fuel to move them between construction sites — which is better for the environment. And they’re made of recyclable materials, so it’s an eco-friendly option that’s more environmentally responsible than the alternatives.

To conclude, water-filled barricades make for a safe and efficient option in traffic control. XZL ROADSAFETYBAR barriers are easy to see, crash energy absorptive, deterrent, quickly deployed, withstandful in adverse weather, and with no negative effects on the environment. When you select barriers that are filled with water for the construction projects that you take on, you are not only keeping everyone safer on the road, but you are helping the planet out as well.
