Abstract:
1. A safety crash barrier comprising: a) an elongated base portion placed on a road section or ground and comprising a plurality of base segments coupled to each other and having a plurality of spaced apart cushioning channels, said base segments being movable relative said ground or road for absorbing impact energy of a colliding vehicle contacting said crash barrier; b) a plurality of coupling rods, each disposed in one of said cushioning channels of the base portion and vertically protruding therefrom with some predefined freedom to move or tilt therein relative to said base portion; and c) a plurality of barrier elements movably disposed over said base portion and said base portion by said coupling rods, thereby allowing changing one or more of said barrier elements into a displaced state in which said one or more barrier elements contacted by the colliding vehicle are caused to move relative to said base portion and absorb more impact energy imparted by said vehicle, and to thereby substantially stop or deflect movement of said vehicle.
