crash barrier
Highway impact absorber
A crash barrier is a guardrail or similar structure along a road designed to prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway or crossing into oncoming traffic.
Crash barriers absorb or redirect impact energy, reducing the severity of accidents: The car hit the crash barrier and spun back onto the shoulder.
Common on highways, bridges, and mountain roads.
