A new safety barrier can protect pedestrians and property from out of control vehicles. Called Curb-I, the system is a triple bollard barrier assembly that can be quickly and easily installed on pedestrian walkways and in front of commercial areas to provide protection. Developed by 1321 RSA Protective Technologies, the Curb-It system has undergone extensive testing and can be used to stop vehicles weighing up to 2.3tonnes and travelling at up to 13km/h. Vehicles are typically deflected by up to 3m after impact with the Curb-It triple bollard barrier, according to RSA Protective Technologies. A single person can install the system in less than an hour using standard tools and without the need for pneumatic hammers, poured concrete, street closures or debris removal. The Curb-It bollard system is made from carbon steel and is corrosion-resistant with an anti-slip polymer coating along the base. Bollards measure 914mm high by 152mm in diameter and stand 1.22m apart, while weighing 318kg. The system comes with a one-year factory warranty and is specifically designed as an affordable safety retrofit solution for applications such as fuel stations, schools, restaurants or outdoor dining areas.
