Features of forgiving roadsides
Features of forgiving roadsides include:
- clear zones where there are no obstacles, such as trees, that a vehicle could hit
- slopes that enable a vehicle driver to either regain control or bring their vehicle to a safe stop.
Where it's not possible to provide a forgiving roadside, road safety barriers can help to redirect out-of-control vehicles away from other vehicles and potential hazards.
