Highways England Trials Inflatable Safety Barrier for Workzones

An inflatable safety barrier is being tested in work zones in Midlands, England, to help protect road workers. The new airbag aims to reduce the number of intrusions into work zones. In the initial test it will be installed as part of a weekend junction and slip road closure, but it is anticipated that the airbag will be tested within various types of temporary traffic management scenarios over the coming months.
