Durable and stable

Usually, guardrails are created using robust metals. In most cases you install them in the ground with concrete or use bolts to hold them in place. This prevents them from moving with human force. They need to be sturdy and stable to provide the right protection.

However, it is also possible to consider the rails as obstacles. Therefore, you have to weigh the risk of placing them against how much protection they offer. Guardrails won’t halt the complete impact if a vehicle crashes into them. On the other hand, they do prevent pedestrians from leaving the footpath. This can stop them from walking into unsafe roads or steep drops.

Where do you want guardrails?

It is normal to put the rails in places where there is a small divide between traffic and pedestrians. Alternatively, you can have them in locales with tight corners or where vehicles are close to pedestrians at the end of walkways. If there is a high risk of collision if pedestrians manage to get onto the road, you should have railings.
