High-speed roads present unique challenges for road safety. Vehicles traveling at high speeds have less time to react to hazards, making collisions potentially fatal. Crash cushions—also called impact attenuators—are essential tools for reducing the severity of accidents and protecting both drivers and workers.
Absorbing Impact to Reduce Injuries
Crash cushions are designed to absorb the energy from a collision, slowing down vehicles gradually rather than stopping them abruptly. This reduces the risk of serious injuries or fatalities when a vehicle strikes a fixed hazard, such as a barrier, median, or work zone equipment.
Protecting Workers and Road Users
On high-speed roads, roadside hazards like construction zones, traffic islands, or bridge abutments can be deadly. Properly installed crash cushions provide a buffer zone, safeguarding workers and nearby motorists by mitigating the force of impact.
Meeting Safety Standards
Australian safety standards, including MASH TL-3 and TL-4, specify where crash cushions are required and how they must perform. Using compliant crash cushions ensures your site adheres to regulations, protecting both people and your organisation from legal risk.
Flexible, Durable Solutions
Crash cushions such as Absorb-M and QuadGuard CZ are designed for high-speed environments. They can be deployed quickly, withstand repeated impacts, and adapt to temporary or permanent road setups.
