Pedestrian fencing is presented in the form of a structure used for the barrier between the carriageway and the pedestrian. It is necessary in every city, especially in a place where there are always a lot of cars. Barriers streamline transport, and also protect against accidents. There are various pedestrian fences. GOST includes the basic requirements for these designs
Restraint and restraint guards
According to GOST, there are two main types of fences: restraining and limiting. Designs are created in modern factories. Each product has its own characteristics, which allows you to use them for specific needs.
Holding structures are used when pedestrian traffic across the road is needed. This will protect people from falling from the bridge. Such protections are presented in the form of crossbeams, racks, sections.
A pedestrian restrictive fence is installed along the road, so it serves as a barrier against a person getting on the highway. The design serves to protect against accidents so pedestrians do not cross the street in the wrong places. For mounting, crossbars, racks, sections are used.
Fencing Requirements
GOST has requirements for these products. They must be implemented, because the safety of motorists and pedestrians depends on this. The requirements include:
- dimensions and parameters should be as per the drawings;
- height is determined by GOST;
- between the base and the lower crossbar should be no more than 150 mm;
- between two parts filling the section, there can be no more than 120 mm.
Fencing options by manufacturing method and material
Pedestrian crossings can be of different types. Designs differ in the technology and materials used:
- cast - a complex manufacturing method used to create many uniform structures;
- modular - a production method that has a quick installation, a long period of operation and easy maintenance;
- bolted - parts are fastened with bolts;
- welded - a welding method is used in fixing the elements;
- combined - the product consists of several types of fences.
Pedestrian fences are made of different materials. The quality of the construction depends on this. Often used steel, aluminum and its alloys, as well as composite materials.
Railing and cross design
The handrail is restrictive and restraining. It is attached along the edges of the sidewalk on bridges or embankments. Constructions are present at stops, near underground passages, at intersections. They have vertical filling of sections with elements.
Among the types of products there is a pedestrian rail fence type "cross". Its sections are filled crosswise. Designs are used to protect the pedestrian road from the automobile. Products are used in cultural events where many people are present. In such cases, mobile fences are necessary to streamline the flow of people so that there is no crowding. Pedestrian fencing "cross" is on the sites for cycling. Designs create safety on the streets.
Cross Design Features
Pedestrian fencing has the following characteristics:
- height - not less than 1100 mm for retaining structures;
- height 800-1000 mm for restrictive products;
- are created on the basis of steel profile pipes using welding;
- have a galvanized surface.
Fixed and temporary fences
Pedestrian fences are of the following types:
- stationary installed for a long period; they are attached at intersections, near recreational facilities, shopping centers;
- temporary ones are easily installed and dismantled many times; each section is considered independent, since it does not require attachment to the nearest module.
Temporary fences are used during public events, in parking lots, during construction work. They protect people from dangers. On the territory of cities there are many types of structures of various types. Each of them performs its functions, but in any case they serve to ensure security.
